The bedfloor has been smoothed...
The bedfloor has been smoothed out and made to open to gain access to the aluminum fuel cell and polished stainless air tank. With it tilted up, you can clearly see the 4-link suspension setup and 12-bolt rearend.
The original grille on these...
The original grille on these trucks was made from three pieces, but for a smoother look all three were welded together before being re-chromed. The factory plastic insert was also swapped out for a Trenz Phantom grille.
