This Jeep builder sure has figured our trucks out! Attn. 1 ton fans... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stumbled across this company while doing an image search for some 1 ton 4x4's. This guy builds them exactly how I like them, basically restored, but with a little lift and some wheels and tires. Here's a link to their site, and a couple of examples.

Another one

**rs74** · 01-08-2014, 10:04 PM

They get posted here from time to time. I agree that they put together some nice lookin squares.

Big Tex · 01-08-2014, 10:12 PM

Really? I troll this site a lot and don't recall seeing them. I mainly look at the "how about some _________ pics" threads though.

**rs74** · 01-08-2014, 10:20 PM

I believe the ones I have seen from this company are usually links from Ebay. They always have the truck sitting in the same place setting.

hrc200x · 01-08-2014, 11:28 PM

So thats where all the nice tail gate bands have gone

**Joesjunk** · 01-09-2014, 12:49 PM

I bought my truck from them, great guy, and they do very nice work. This is the first truck I have ever bought that was already done, but I sure like it. Factory 1 ton single wheels are so hard to find, but these guys sure find them

**Joesjunk** · 01-09-2014, 12:53 PM

And yes, they keep them as stock as they can with just a lift and wheels and tires. My truck is 100% bone stock in and out, even still has the original factory dual exhaust with GM mufflers. Just the lift, wheels and tires and non factory.

chrisestes · 01-09-2014, 01:08 PM

very nice truck congrats on the find!

no moa · 01-09-2014, 01:54 PM

To me, I would pay what they're asking for those trucks. They are basically new trucks. How does it drive?

It's a great truck, it rides and drives really good. I bought mine almost 2 years ago

nekkidhillbilly · 01-09-2014, 09:55 PM

what size lift wheels and tires are those?

**Joesjunk** · 01-09-2014, 10:23 PM

4" lift, 16x10 Mickey Thompson wheels and 315/75/16 tires

nekkidhillbilly · 01-09-2014, 10:36 PM

i wonder if one could get away with tires that big and a 2inch?

**Joesjunk** · 01-09-2014, 10:55 PM

I'm not sure they would fit will a 2" lift

nekkidhillbilly · 01-09-2014, 11:30 PM

yeah i guess i will do 285s and a 2 inch. 4 is a little taller than what i want.

Wellgeo03 · 01-10-2014, 02:42 PM

Joesjunk, I have seen the pictures of your truck on here before, and saw the grey crew on ebay a while back. I didn't realize they were all being done by a resto company. Your truck has, in my opinion the perfect stance, and is absolutely stunning. I am very glad there are people like yourself out there and companies like this that still see the value in building/owing these old girls. You just can't buy trucks like these any more!

I have 285/70 R17s on H2 rims on one of my crews at stock height with no tire rubbing. It has mud flaps but no running boards which would take up a little extra space.

You will have 0 issues with your planed 285 setup and a 2".

So nice!

Greenlee · 01-11-2014, 10:05 AM

Beautiful trucks! I had dreams of my project turning out like this when I started. I had a 1 ton M1008 and a clean 1/2 ton long bed and planned to combine the two trucks. However, I bought a third truck that was a 1/2 ton short bed and my project morphed into restoring the short bed.

Greenlee · 01-11-2014, 10:20 AM

I looked at some more of the trucks on their site. If I had to do it all over again I would be tempted to buy from these guys. I probably have same money in my truck, plus 4 years of working on it.
