SPECIAL THANKS FROM THEOWNER: “To my good friend, Dave Johnston. He was the builder of this truck. I call him my ‘Canadian connection,’ as he is a respected custom truck builder out of Port Alberni, British Columbia. I call the truck ‘California Dreamin’’ because although it has Canadian roots, it’s a total California truck. I would also like to thank my good friends Mike and Shawn from No Limit Customs in Riverbank, California. They keep me running and looking good. I also would like to thank my parents for never giving up on me, and my dad for always pushing me to never settle for anything but the best.”
