Last issue, we blasted out 20 pages of Mark Barbee’s GMC 2500 project truck in an effort to show just how much goes into building a high-level diesel truck. We included products from Amp Research, Optima, Buckstop Bumpers, Warn, Delta Lights, Vortex, PML, Bully Dog, Dynomax, Kleinn Air Horns, Leer, T-Rex, Road Wire Interiors, Phoenix Imaging, and Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation.
Even 20 pages wasn’t enough to finish off the project. So, here we go again with a healthy Part 2. This month we look at the installation of products from Bushwacker, Reflexxion, Memphis Audio, US Speedo, Andersen Hitch, and ICPW.
Hey, don’t be surprised when you see Part 3 come around!
