About this piece

This trx4m based build features the first full implementation of my micro leaf spring suspension system prototype. It started with an extra fancy customized Chevy k10 body, decked out with a Texas inspired rancher's truck theme. Because of all the added bells and whistles and chrome plating, it weighs a micro-ton and can hinder performance of the chassis, so I made a second body with a much lighter weight and lower center of gravity--another highly modified Chevy k10 with a beach cruiser theme.
