When we first found it, the truck needed only an interior to get to the upper level. The taillights were shaved, the true-fire flames on the front were painted, and from the outside, the truck was complete.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10599]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10601\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Katzkin leather painted dash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash.jpg\" alt=\"Katzkin, leather, painted dash, gauges\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Katzkin-leather-painted-dash-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the time, John owned a crew cab dually, but he was losing interest in it, so he traded it off at the dealership for a crew cab 4X4. Now he had two crew cabs, and two different interior colors, so he decided to make the swap and give his orange one a little classier look. After he called to say his Katzkin kit was on order, a photo shoot was lined up and things seemed to be moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10599]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10602\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Vortech Silverado V8\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8.jpg\" alt=\"Vortech, Supercharger, airbrushed, orange\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Silverado-V8-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before that shoot could happen, another call came. \u201cHey, I got a supercharger. I\u2019m going to put it on and get it all handled, then we\u2019ll shoot it.\u201d Nothing is simple though for John. Instead of just slapping the Vortech supercharger in the truck, he went the extra mile and airbrushed all of the plastic pieces under the hood silver with a rusted rivet look to match the iron cross on the hood. Everywhere from the valve covers on up was painted by John at his shop, JM Custom Concepts in Laveen, Arizona. Then the whole kit, painted up and pretty, was expertly installed by Kevin and Scott at Bartling Motorsports in Queen Creek, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10599]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10603\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Vortech Supercharged V8 Chevrolet\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet.jpg\" alt=\"Vortech, supercharger, airbrushed rivets, 6.0l, V8\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Vortech-Supercharged-V8-Chevrolet-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It may have taken some time, but in the end, John put out yet another high quality ride.
