TAKING A TRUCK FROM MODIFIED DAILY DRIVER TO SOMETHING SHOW WORTHY CAN BE A HARD TRANSITION FOR VEHICLE OWNERS. Committing to take that build as a whole to the next level is usually never the issue—it’s more like rememberin­g to take it at bit easier on the truck to maintain that pristine condition every show vehicle aims to be.
