BUILD BREAKDOWN: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
/Have you ever had a conversation with a friend or a family member talking about an old truck or an old car that you wish you still had? One that has numerous great stories and brings back great memories. Danny Stewart thought that exact thing when he brought the idea to us about building a truck his father once ran. Danny wanted to copy as much detail as we could from the bunk, to the chrome, and of course the paint while adding a bit of his own style. From only just a handful of photos, we were able to build a near-perfect replication of that old star that had numerous great stories and brought back so many great memories. A BIG thank you to Daniel R Stewart Trucking Ltd and Danny Stewart for his continuous support and for allowing us to bring this idea to life! Check out photos, a drone fly around, and full spec list below!
