Dustin filled every hole in the frame and smoothed it to perfection. Once the frame was looking better then some peoples rides it as then brought to Rockhard Powder coating to be powder coated. Once the frame was received back from Rockhard it was time to reattach the items removed. The cab was then bolted back on its foundation. Out back the rearend was swapped with that of a disc-brake model to ensure the dime could well stop on a dime too. With the frame now shinning like never before and the cab back in place the bed was now body dropped to match the lowered cab.

Now that Dustin's truck had a new stance in life it was time to treat the body to some gentle massaging. Now remember that I told you Dustin bought his Dime for nearly nothing and it was only 5 years old at the beginning of the project. So in order to get a nearly new truck for nearly nothing you can only imagine the shape it was in and we all know that the body is were most of the wear and tear takes place on a work truck. Dustin called upon Keith Eddings from Paragould to go over the body and gently work it back into shape.

Keith started by welding shut the gas door, taillight opening, door handles, building a completely unique tailgate skin combo with the license plate frenched in on an angle and completely reworking the inside of the bed for a smooth appearance.
