[Ironworks]

Thanks again Guys. The time that it takes to build this stuff is far beyond what anybody will really ever understand.

Just take the cab. It was chopped 1.5" and sectioned through the hood and doors 1.75" then at the same time the cab was lengthened 3" through the doors. That by itself is major work. Plus the window moldings had to be modified and the trimmed around the glass for those mods. Lengthening the cab is a lot of work in itself. You just have to understand it is not about the amount of money, it is about being able to pay the guys who do the work a livable wage and be able to pay for the equipment needed to do these tasks. Plus pay for Insurance and all other expenses required to just be able to do the work. OH and don't forget trying to run a business in the bankrupt state of California, They want to ding you for every damn penny they can. Then it is just a matter of how long it takes to do all the work and at what level of quality the builder is capable of and how nice the owner wants the truck . If you hack the truck together in a weekend it will never ever look and fit like this truck does.

We did not start with a truck. We started with 3 cabs, 3 hoods, 8 doors, NOS long bed bed sides, NOS long bed running boards, and some front and rear fenders. The only parts on this truck that would bolt to a stock truck are the glove box lock and the front header in the bed which was turned around backwards. And maybe the gauges we bought from Classic Instruments. EVERYTHING else has been massaged and moved alot of a little.

75% of the work in this truck will go unnoticed by 99% of people even people who own this model truck. There are over 80 Body mods. Just body mods that does not include and rust or fitment issues. Just body mods.
