About this piece

A tribute to all the crusty, rugged contractors and construction workers out there, like a few of my uncles. They seem to always have a beater truck loaded with tools and trash from the latest job.

This Chevy K5 body was chopped and then mated to a 3D printed service truck bed with modifications, then loaded with printed, painted, handmade tools and trash, like an old window mounted A/C unit.

It all sits on a chassis that features my custom micro leaf spring suspension system.
