The body was removed from the frame and repainted in red and off-white in April 2021, while welded-in rust repairs were reportedly carried out under previous ownership. Additional work following the repaint included replacement of the weatherstripping, window seals, woodgrain beltline trim, lighting, and emblems. A chrome luggage rack and a Class V receiver hitch with a trailer wiring plug were also fitted.

The body was removed from the frame and repainted in red and off-white in April 2021, while welded-in rust repairs were reportedly carried out under previous ownership. Additional work following the repaint included replacement of the weatherstripping, window seals, woodgrain beltline trim, lighting, and emblems. A chrome luggage rack and a Class V receiver hitch with a trailer wiring plug were also fitted.
The truck was lifted approximately 4″ using a Skyjacker Black Max suspension kit to clear 35×12.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires mounted on polished 17×10″ US Mags Indy U101 wheels. The front disc and rear drum brakes were refreshed with a new booster, master cylinder, calipers, pads, and shoes. A new steering gearbox, tie rods, ball joints, and body bushings were also installed along with twin Skyjacker steering stabilizers.
The interior features three bench seats upholstered in black vinyl and cloth accented by a matching headliner, cargo area paneling, and carpets. Amenities include a Classic Auto Air HVAC system with rear air conditioning, woodgrain trim, a Marshall Stockwell II Bluetooth speaker mounted in the glovebox, and a pair of period-style flashlights.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames Intellitronix analog gauges including a tachometer, four secondary gauges, and a digital odometer showing five miles. Total chassis mileage is unknown. A GM Delco radio is mounted in the dash but assumed inoperable. Painless wiring and chassis harnesses were used in the build.
The replacement fuel-injected 6.0-liter Vortec LQ9 V8 is said to use an RV camshaft and features a cold air intake, a throttle body spacer, Schoenfeld long-tube headers, dual 2.5″ exhaust pipes, and Rumble mufflers with a PCM tune to match. An aluminum radiator has been fitted and the thermostat and water pump replaced along with the spark plugs and wires. Fuel is drawn from a 40-gallon tank with an internal pump mounted using a Tanks Inc. PA-series module.
