this RAM is a body off project, the truck was prepped and based in silver and a heavy metal flake brandywine paint was applied with flames and other unusual paint tricks to make you look and have the paint play with the eye. The paint scheme is Chameleon. The paint changes colors as you move around the truck or as someone is watching it drive by. Bright sun enhances this effect. The engine compartment has been painted to match the exterior. Color changing flames on the fender wells with real smoke captured in the flames. the frame was prepped, primed and painted flat black. The steel hood was replaced with a custom fiberglass hood. The exterior door handles and gas door were shaved. All of the chrome trim, front grille, headlight frames, light lenses, taillight lenses, and side marker lenses are all new. The paint applied to the truck extends thru the door jams and into the wells and the interior of the doors. THE INTERIOR The original bench seat was removed and replaced with custom bucket seats. Before the seats were installed, the new leather covering was removed. The seats has extra padding installed for a beefy, more comfortable ride. The seats were then covered with a soft tan Brazilian leather. The entire interior cab, including the trim, dash, sun visors and headliner have been covered in Brazilian leather.Flames were embossed into the bucket seats with thread creating the flames matching the Brandywine paint color. The headliner is very special. there is a RAM embossed into the leather and it covers the whole head liner from door to door. the dash panel is original with the original am/fm radio. The small pocket opening between the 4wd switch and the A/C outlet was covered with a thin peice of black and two small brushed siver sport comp guages were installed. The automatic shift selector was relocated from the column to the floor using a custom brushed aluminum 12" Lokar shifter with small round brushed silver push button knob. The chrome 4x4 floor shifter is original except that a ram hood ornament was adapted to the handle.

The original gas tank was removed and a new 22 gallon fuel sell installed with the chrome fuel door in the bed as you can see in the pics, the gas guage does work. Fuel is delivered by a 6-7 lb chrome mechanical pump. the only real issue i know of with the truck is that it has automatic door openers with an alarm system that opens the doors from a key chain. it has not been finished yet but i have everything to finish it with, besides that pictures do not do this truck justice. there is not a part on this truck you cant eat off of. I also have alot of receipts and paperwork with this truck, the receipt on the interior alone was $ 5,404.88. im guessing almost $30,000 worth of parts and labor in this truck DELIVERY im selling this truck as pickup only, but if you email or call me before bidding i might can arrange delivery depending on location, feel free to call or email with any questions (276) 608-2803, please leave a message.
