Summit Racing, Spectre Performance, Classic Performance Parts (CPP), American Racing Wheels, TMI Products, Auto Meter, Brothers Truck Parts, Precision Replacement Parts and Street Trucks Magazine for running all the tech articles that we did on this truck. I also want to thank Hector Garcia (a.k.a.

I also can’t thank my wife and kids enough for enjoying my obsession with working on the vehicle with me.”
