Dang man that's a damn good looking truck. Sorta has that old B-Model look. Only thing it needs is the twin-stick quadroplex transmission lol! Seriously it's a good looking rig.

The alloy rims look great. The dashboard and the steering wheel inside look very similar to my 2004 International 9400. How much weight can you take with this truck legally?
