Finally on the road with the #ghettohauler
Put a few hundred test miles on hauling out to
@southwest_ford_nationals
So much work has gone into this truck, so I need to thank a few people.
First,
@copperstatecreations with hours and hours of dedication to bring this vision to life. He did all of the fab work to graft these 2 trucks together, all the rust repair ( there was a lot), then the handmade running boards, the one-off front fenders, and then of course laying down a perfect painjob on top of all of it.
@henklefabricationandwelding came up and helped me build the bed from scratch with nothing more than a pencil drawing on paper. Then he built the 65 gallon fuel tank that sits on the deck, as well as modifying the stock tank to fit in a new location under the truck.
The truck is riding on a one-off 4-link airride system build by
@hutchswelding in Miami. The truck rides absolutely amazing and the suspension was 90% bolt in.
The interior isn’t fully finished out, but
@outlaw_upholstery_chino_valley has gone all out. I got full custom leather on the heated AND cooled seats— and absolute must have for how many miles I’m going to put on this truck.
Thank you to
@cody_barenz @barenzfabrication for beadrolling all the panels on the bed and the running boards. I need you to come weld up the exhaust next.😂
Then there is lots of people who either gave me parts, or at least taught me how to find the right stuff. I can’t think of them all but
@delfab__ and
@dukesfabncustoms are my goto slick experts.
And
@hodsonmotors for giving me opportunity to get the cab in the first place. It is such a rare truck... hope it’s new lease on life is great!
And of course
@alexaphillipsmedia on the edit
