Nice looking truck and the rear bumper actually matches the front when you start thinking about it.

WOW!!! that's a lot of truck!!! and proportionate more so than others done this way

**special-K** · 03-04-2018, 05:17 PM

That is some fancy fabrication work on that bed and bumper

**joedoh** · 03-04-2018, 05:38 PM

my brother is there and sent me a picture of it, looks beautiful!

**Advanced Design** · 03-04-2018, 06:59 PM

Any ideas on who built it? Looking over the build would be interesting. Guessing it was expensive...

I admit to liking it a lot, BUT....(since it’s no one’s here) is it me or do the front wheels especially look too big? Also, seems a bit odd not seeing exterior stake pockets on the bed. Like it’s missing them - not that it “needs” to have them, just more true to the look of an old pickup truck.

PS: Rear bumper looks like it weighs 400lbs!
