All most every panel has some thing done to it, even the fans in the engine are painted with a Western theme. You just have to see the photos to find all the little details that went in to this truck. All this work was done by owners Marcel and Valerie of Tuscon, Arizona.

Those are some seriously nice trucks. They've got to have some SERIOUS money into them, too! Just imagine the cost of a custom paintjob for a regular truck, and probably multiply that x 3 or 4!!
