Big Bad Chevy - Emphasis on the words Big and Bad...

Big Bad Chevy - Emphasis on the words Big and Bad...

Specifications
  • 2004 Chevrolet Custom Kodiak - Kodiak Cab with the center section of a 1996 Chevy Van grafted between the front and rear of cab.
  • 6.6 Duramax Diesel Engine.
  • Allison 1000 Series Transmission.
  • New Process 273 Transfercase.
  • 15000 Ramsey Winch - Front.
  • 10000 Winch - Rear.
  • 3 Fuel Tanks, Two 60 Gallon Tanks and One 50 Gallon Tank.
  • Rear Bed is 2007 Chevrolet Dually Pickup Bed - this is a Dump Bed and a Roll-back Bed.


From a distance the paint looks really good but up close it's lightly stained, lightly oxidized and has light swirls throughout the paint since it was first assembled.

So tomorrow night I'll be buffing out the paint and detailing everything else to bring the overall finish quality up to a higher standard.

Thought you guys might enjoy some before pictures of the truck...

Here's what the paint looks like up close,




Heres' the truck...

At least you won't have to lay on the ground to polish the lower painted areas.

Ahah yeah indeed.
I'm not really a pickup truck fan so I just don't get the point of having a truck of that size. Or maybe the owner is using it for work purpose...

Hey Mike, is this another demonstration of how long it takes you to work without a machine?


I wonder if those garage tiles are rated to hold that much weight. Going to be a nice turnaround!
