SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE OWNER: “I would like to thank my parents and my brother Dave for helping me through this build. If it weren’t for them, who knows where the truck would be today. I would also like to thank my girlfriend Dina for being understanding through the years and letting me work on the truck. We put a lot of things on hold to try to finish it. Also, thank you to Eric Saliba and his crew at The Little Shop for making my dream come to life; Brad Wurzbacher at Driven Fabrication for paint and interior work; Bobby Moore for the interior design and my club, Low Rollers, for all of the support over the years. Last, but not least, I would like to thank everyone that has helped work on the truck over the years: my dad, brother, Phil Fowler, Tommy Worwick, Jason Hurlock, Bradley James, AndrewZeck, Chris Pollock, Greg Neal and SamSmith for all the times I needed help taking the bed off.”
