It would cost $100,000 to duplicate this truck today. No doubt it
presents itself like a show truck but it's also a driver. It's road
ready.
EXTERIOR: This thing screams "I'm a show truck"! There is some
significant custom body work. It is straight with no signs of rust
or damage. Up front the bumper was removed, a custom lower panel
was fabricated with bow tie turn signals and recessed license
plate. It has a cowl induction hood, the emblems, marker lights,
trim and gas cap were all removed and filled smooth. The gutters
were shaved around the doors too for a clean look. The bed is
custom fabricated with a smooth filled in tailgate area and
recessed Cadillac tail lights. Rear bumper is removed. A custom
roll pan has a recessed license plate. The Lime green with custom
colorful graphics is really outstanding. The graphics are smooth to
the touch and go right into the jambs. The paint is smooth and
glossy. It's been driven so there are minor flaws if you look for
them. Drop it to the ground by letting the air out of the
suspension. It sits on 17 inch Billet Specialties wheels, they are
highly polished. They are extra wide in back and have Competition
T/A tires. All new glass. New gaskets, weatherstrips and window
seals. It has custom mirrors. New door handles and wiper arms.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed out with high gloss paint and chrome

slick. The wires and hoses are hidden. The wiper motor is relocated
and hidden.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is completely refabricated. It
has a smooth metal floor with big tubbed wheel wells. There's a
polished stainless steel custom gas tank. The battery is relocated
in the bed and is bolted down. The hard tonneau cover lifts up with
the help of 2 gas struts. It's all painted gloss green and there's
a Popeye mural on the bottom of the lid.

rebuilt. The rear bushings were replaced, it has lowering blocks.
All 4 shocks are painted green. Upgraded to disc brakes at all 4
wheels. Custom exhaust has stainless pipes going to the Flowmaster
mufflers and it exits in front of the rear tires. Bottom of the
motor is clean. It has chrome oil pan, fuel pump and the starter
looks new. The trans was upgraded to a 700R-4 overdrive automatic.
In back is a 12 bolt rear end with a chrome cover. Is has green
lights underneath the truck.
Don't think this is just a show truck. It's been very well cared
for and certainly can participate in the shows, bit it is a driver.
Why drive a truck that looks like everyone else's? Filling up with
gas is much more enjoyable when people come up and say" nice
truck".
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
