Knowing that the exterior work would need to match the masterful suspension work, many panels would be ditched and reworked to give the crew cab a true Ekstensive feel at first glance.  Starting at the front and working back, the hood and grille shell would be replaced with those off of a Denali. A Trenz billet grille insert to bring a clean look about would accompany the grille shell. Matching up with the Denali panels, the use of a Chevy 2001 ½-Ton front bumper and valance would be worked to match up. Working his way back, the next items to receive attention would be the doors. With having all four shaved, the clean look was starting to take shape. With the installation of a sliding ragtop, Bill received an idea from the heavens above. The idea would be to make his very own wind deflector for the ragtop, which would be molded to the roof along with housing LED's to take place of the stock driving lights, which once resided there. To finish off the cab, the glass would receive a layer of window tint worked by Gabe. With the first half of this beast at rest, it was time to tear into the bed.

First off, the gas filler door would be ditched and replaced by sheet metal. Needing a new location to fill up for long trips, the gas filler was moved into the bed.  While in the bed leaving it no longer at a stock look, Bill decided to smooth out the floor to continue the clean look he was so striving for. Knowing that the driving lights up-top the dually were replaced, the ones in the rear fenders would also need to be swapped out. To do this, the LED's where mounted in place and the excess gap filled smoothed and ready for paint thus leaving the ass end the only part untouched.
