This
customer was open to customizing for comfort, room, and
looks. The entire product was designed here at REB Auto.
There are literally too many changes and additions to
this project to list or express the quality of the
workmanship. To name a few changes, the cab was
widened by 4 inches and lengthened 8 inches. The
result of this seemingly minor change means that, not
only is there the design, fabrication, and work put into
that, but it also effects the entire design and shape of
the vehicle. The entire roof, the windshield post
and pillars, all had to be handmade out of metal.
The rain gutter was removed for a different look.
The cowl vent opening was hand made, the floor was hand
made to suit the new motor and frame, the back of the
cab is completely hand made, and the doors are hand made
to fit the new openings and rocker sills. All body
lines are round, there are no square corners on this
truck. The mirrors are hand made of metal and
adjustable to adapt to the newer style of the body.
The customer requested a smaller revel line when making
the cab, and as a result the front fenders had to be
modified to fit the new look and tires.
Alterations were made for the hood to fit by
lengthening, and there was a request to have no chrome
on the front end.
This truck involved a great many hours of design and
metal forming, but as you can see from the photos,
the results are clear and the fit and finish is better
than factory. |
