Once again, I have teamed with American Racing to provide the wheels, and RideTech for coilover suspension. We will be using Tamco Paint products from start to finish topped of with Mar-K sidemolding.

The interior will be updated with the Dakota Digital #RTX-73C-PU-X due to its simplistic gauge face surrounded by Cheyenne Pickup parts bezel and dash pad. The cab will be kept cool with a Vintage Air A/C system, while riding on premium TMI products seating. Precision Replacement Parts will rebuild the vent windows and provide a full seat of gaskets and seals.

Under the hood the existing 454 will be retained for now. A full set of Slosh Tubz filler panels will accompany Slosh Tubz "Mild Tubz" for additional tire clearance. Eddie Motorsports hinges will hold the early hood up.

I'm sure I have left out a lot, but thats a good start. Chad Canning of Rendered Rides was commissioned to do a digital rendering. Heres what we started with. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
This is gonna be super cool! When you say team up with all these companies to get all the gucci parts... do they donate them to the build or give you a discount in return for showcasing them on your build? Just curious how that works.
