HEADERS

A custom set of headers were built for this truck from Gear Venders. Then wrapped for an era correct look and style. The headers do have baffles inside.



BODY

The cab of the truck and frame were custom built by Russnomore of Ruston, Louisiana and has a 3 “ chop.

This truck has to be the nicest fiberglass I’ve ever seen. The floor alone is over ¼ inch thick and slick would have been an understatement. The doors use a one piece design on inside the tracks, glass, window runs, and latches are one component I’ve never seen anything like it. (see pics) The fiberglass inside the cab was just as nice all finished ready to paint.

We have Daphin gauges custom dash pad, custom console, upper & lower with cup holders, Lokar 32” shifter, custom Hot Rod seats, a custom fold down fuse box under the dash for easy access to fuse block if needed. Quick Wires wiring harness. Ididit tilt column with Billet speciality steering banjo wheel, matching window cranks & door handles. Underdash lights & over head light. From the inside view we just had to do the Pop Out Windshield. It has all the effect of just kool riding down the road or just sitting still what an awesome view looking over those 6 stacks.



The wiring on this truck is a work of art itself. All (every) wire is sautered & shrink wrapped. No butt connectors here anywhere. The truck has a new Hypercool A/C unit complete with chrome dryer & polished compressor.

We tried to keep the dash as clean as possible by putting switches & ignition overhead. Cell phone charger hidden under dash.

A completely rebuild 9” Ford 342 gear with wish bone rear suspension with a set of Firestone Airbag on lower control arms.

FRONT SUSPENSION

Superbell II front dropped axle with Disc brakes, Vega Steering box from Flaming River. A custom set of Shockwaves Handles the ride height & shocks up front. A Vair 444 compressor & a 3 gal tank does the air ride & paddle valves on dash control ride height front & rear. This truck lays rockers.

FRAME

Please check out pics. The frame is a custom one off work of art thanks to Russnomore. All welds were ground smooth & the custom water rails is absolutely awesome.

COOLING

Radiator is a custom 4 core Transverse mounted in rear. No hose clamps here. All connections are done with a shrink tubing for a clean look. One electric fan on radiator & one on A/C condenser up front.
