So this project has been going on since March of this year, and so I figured it's time to start one of these build threads... Here goes nothing!
For at least 2 years layindoor84 (Ronnie) and myself had been searching the interweb and shows looking for the right truck for me. I had been wanting to get a bagged truck to cruise around in and go to some shows in too.
We looked at countless trucks, talked to countless truck owners, and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for.
So finally layindoor84 (Ronnie) says, "let's just find a nice stock truck, and I'll build it!". Ronnie has built quite a few bagged rides in his day, and even helped out ekstensive metal works a few times with some overflow work, at his house, when they couldn't get to something.
Well, that was all it took.
After looking on craigslist, autotrader and the likes, we found the 02 RCSB that ended up being the right one.
The truck was in Beaumont, TX (3 hours away from where I live, in Tyler, TX). BUT, only about 30 minutes from where Ronnie lives!
So after we talked about it, Ronnie went and looked at the truck and told me, "man if it were my money, I'd buy it in a heart beat!".
At this point I had only seen 1 or 2 pretty blurry pictures of this truck (the guy selling it was in his late 60s, and a bit shaky with the camera...) But I trusted Ronnie's opinion on it.
I wired him the money, he went and bought the truck, and took it back to CP Suspension Works where the transformation would take place.
After 4 months, a lot of sweat, and a pile of money, the truck is almost ready for delivery.
I gotta say, to have a friend like Ronnie is isn't what most would consider possible. He is one of the best guys I know, hands down! (no homo.... lol)
But that's enough about the story, here's the truck!
Thanks again homie!
