Professional frame off build by Big Rooster Performance. It retains vintage charm with very significant upgrades! 1 owner 1980-2020 when the 3rd owner bought it and had it restored, it was recently finished.

EXTERIOR: Now this is a truck! Rugged vintage looks that are practically new. The body is all rust free metal and the long flat panels are straight and fit right. Painted "Fall Guy" Metallic Brown. It's laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished to a high gloss. The beige sides are actually a wrap, it's brown underneath. PPF chip guard was applied to the front of the hood. Even the jambs are slick. The doors shut like new with new latches. All of the chrome, trim, moldings and weatherstrips were replaced. The glass was replaced, the rear is a tinted sliding window. LED lights brighten things up. The 3 inch lift looks great along with these polished 17 inch US Mags with 34 inch Toyo all terrain tires.

INTERIOR: It's done really nice inside. There is a sound deadener under the carpet. Professionally upholstered throughout. All the plastic trim, headliner, visors and even the steering wheel are upholstered to match. The captain bucket seats are rebuilt and upholstered with vintage highland plaid inserts. The center console was upholstered and features a 12 volt receptacle and cup holders. The dash pad and door panels are upholstered as well. I love the Dakota Digital RTX gauges. It's got a great sound system including a hands free Retro stereo with Bluetooth, 4 Infinity speakers with tweeters, JBL amp and a Kicker sub woofer. There's a hidden disconnect circuit for security and storage. The tilt column was rebuilt and has a great looking custom steering wheel. The climate controls are updated with electric slides. It's a really cool interior.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: We are talking a 420 hp, 6.2 liter LT used in the Escalade is
powering this old truck! The engine compartment is very proper and tidy. Features include air conditioning, power steering and brakes. It's complete from working windshield washers to new hood insulation.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The tailgate has new hardware and functions properly. Inside is completely sprayed in a durable bedliner and it has a carpeted mat too. A TruXport tonneau cover keeps things safe and sound.

UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and it was completely restored underneath. It was treated to a 3 inch Rough Country lift and Pro Comp shocks. New Warn front locking hubs. Polished 304 2.5 inch stainless exhaust with high flow catalytic converters and Borla ProXS mufflers Front differential is a Dana 44 with 3.73 gears. It has new Warn locking hubs in front, new driveshafts, rebuilt NP205 transfer case with adapter plate. The trans is a 10 speed 10L80E overdrive automatic and was upgraded with GPZ clutch plates and given an improved tune. In back is a 14 bolt rear end with 3.73 Eaton TruTrac posi.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

Very impressive blend of vintage charm with modern performance and reliability! It's a quality build that is ready to be used and enjoyed.
