What makes it unique or custom?

What are your personal touches that make the truck yours?

Feel free to post pictures.
My 1980 big ten is rebuilt and painted front to back and looks brand new like it was in 1980.

Made my own fender emblems. Surfaced them on the computer, then had the CNC guys machine them.


And I too have a shovelhead.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Mine is a diesel short box 1/2 ton with bucket seats, all factory. Aftermarket wise it has a gear venders overdrive. I get 23 MPG. That's how I'm unique.

And I'm probably the only active member on this board running an Olds diesel.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

A CUCV actually running on the road around here is unique in itself, but we also put our shop logo on the side.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Since I started the thread, I should probably add something.

I haven't added any personal touches to my truck yet to make it mine, but I will when I will when I get it going down the road!

One thing that I haven't seen a lot of is my conversion to 5 x 4.75" wheel bolt pattern.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

lots of tedious taping with fine-line tape. I sprayed it with a single stage paint. I did the front free hand with a brush. then cleared over both

Cummins engine with NV5600 6 speed transmission behind it. On top of that is a Gear Vendors.



Custom paint job.



Full power Italian leather Cadillac 60 Series seats. Only a handful of these seats were ever produced. And yes, they're extremely comfortable..

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

What makes mine unique is the fact that I have more parts for it in my house then on the truck. But I love it

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

I think mine being made into a roadster, the custom interior and many other small custom items, make it unique....Jim
