In reality, Chad Fincher is from Hobbs, New Mexico, a city famous for \u2026 well, nothing really. Chad spent his formative years growing up in this small town, and when he turned 18, his father bought him a 1998 GMC Sierra as a gift for graduating high school. That truck took him through college and came with him when he moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the summer of 2003 with his new wife, Shelly, to start their life together.<\/p>\n<p>This is all boring stuff really, I mean Chad\u2019s life in small town New Mexico shouldn\u2019t have a lot of bearing on the direction his truck went in, and in most cases, that would be correct. But here, with Chad and his \u201998, however, the city of Hobbs actually plays a vital role in this build, because his dedication to his hometown is bordering on legendary.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9972\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Body dropped shaved Silverado truck\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2.JPG\" alt=\"Custom paint flames 1998 Silverado Sierra\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_142-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was May of 2004, and Chad was driving around Scottsdale, doing the computer software thing that had become his trade. Next thing you know, Chad hits someone and the front of the truck is gone. At this point, the \u201998 was doing alright; it had a 4\/6-drop, a rollpan that was primered a purple-ish color, and a mild stereo. This accident was the catalyst to taking the truck up a notch, and he decided to seize the opportunity by having the bodyshop install a brand-new Escalade front clip. Now he was color matched and rolling in style.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9955\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Escalade front clip flames\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2.JPG\" alt=\"Escalade front end conversion GMC truck\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_294-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When it came time to bag the truck, Chad went back to Hobbs, and a few weeks later he drove the 12-hour distance back to Phoenix in his freshly laid-out truck. The crew had installed a KP Components cantilever 6-link, notched the rear and installed Air Ride Technologies upper and lower control arms with Firestone airbags. A year or so later, he bought a set of 20\u201d Boss wheels and bolted them up to the truck, and bombed around town with the truck partially primered on 20s, perfectly content to let it be. Well, he <em>was<\/em> content with it anyways.<\/p>\n<p>As things always seem to work out in the custom truck world, Chad started making new friends who were also into building hot rides, and he also joined an online forum called GMFullsize.com. There, Chad met Russell Wood, a builder from Scottsdale who also had a cool truck, but did most of his own work. At that point, after a few months of teasing and prompting, Chad caved and decided to take his truck up to the next level. It was time to kick it up a notch.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9958\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Roll pan frenched license plate\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2.JPG\" alt=\"Sir Michaels roll pan custom plate box\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_153-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next few months were a whirlwind. Chad and Russell started body dropping the truck in Russell\u2019s garage, performing a channel job documented in <em>Truckin\u2019<\/em> magazine. He then hooked up with Bonspeed wheels and picked up a set of 22X8.5 Bonspeed Quasars with 5.75 inches of backspacing and paired those with some 265\/35 Hankook tires provided by his buddy Scott \u201cFinger\u201d Harris. His truck wouldn\u2019t lay on the 22\u2019s right off the bat, so he went to his good friend Todd Burton at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowboymotorsports.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lowboy Motorsports<\/a> in Mesa, Arizona for a little suspension tweaking. Todd redid the bridge, cut out some parts on the front end and set the truck on terra firma where it belonged. Chad also picked up a shell for $50 off Craigslist, and with his truck in a few different colors, he headed off to his favorite city \u2014 Hobbs, New Mexico \u2014 where the truck would be prepped for the SEMA Show.<\/p>\n<p>Chad had met a guy named James Torrez, the owner of Demented Customs in Hobbs, and from September to November, he\u2019d be the guy coordinating the build. The truck was stripped down and the bodywork began, with the doors and tailgate handle getting the axe. Next the gas door was taken out and tilted at a 45-degree angle, adding a custom touch that most people wouldn\u2019t notice. Although it was a good thought, the $50 shell went in the junk pile, and instead Chad hooked up with Leer and got a new shell that was substantially better than the Craigslist special. Next the truck was painted the factory maroon with a touch of House of Kolor Kandy while flames were laid down the hood and sides in a stark white. <em>(Click on a picture to see it full size)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9959\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Kicker Solobaric stereo system cadillac\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2.JPG\" alt=\"Kicker Amp Setup Katzkin Leather Kit\" width=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_53-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9960\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Flamed door panel leather kit\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2.jpg\" alt=\"Custom painted door panel Silverado Sierra\" width=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_interior_117-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A lot of the custom accents found on the exterior of the truck have made their way to the interior as well. James and his crew built the custom console and subwoofer enclosure out of MDF and fiberglass, and painted everything plastic to match. Anything that couldn\u2019t be painted was wrapped in either tan leather or burgundy suede. Craigslist turned up another hot deal on a Colorado Custom billet steering wheel, which Chad picked up for under $100. The stereo itself is pretty impressive, made up of components by Kicker and Stinger, all provided by the crew at ZK Express. They\u2019re another Hobbs company that was involved with this build, and they hooked Chad up on the stereo equipment, tinted the windows and even sprayed a color-matched Reflex bedliner in the bed to make everything under the shell look perfect.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9967\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Colorado Custom Billet steering wheel Chevy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2.JPG\" alt=\"Custom steering wheel install painted dash Chevrolet\" width=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_72-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9968\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Pioneer in-dash DVD player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2.JPG\" alt=\"In dash monitor painted GMC Dashboard\" width=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_26-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The team in Hobbs only had a little bit of time to get the truck done in time for the 2007 SEMA show, but it got done. In fact, Chad saw the truck in person for the first time when James towed the truck to Chad\u2019s house on the way to the show. He drove it off the trailer and into a parking space where it would sit for the next 6 days, then back onto the trailer to go back to Phoenix. Since then, Chad\u2019s been driving it around town with no worries. He\u2019s since taken off the Leer camper just to change things up a bit, tweaked the stereo a bit and redone a few minor things here and there, but for the most part, the truck is good to go.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[9950]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9975\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Flamed paint job Silverado\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2.JPG\" alt=\"Custom flamed paint job Bonspeed billet 22s\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2.JPG 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sized_cfincher_276-2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s next for the guy who\u2019s so dedicated to his hometown that he\u2019s willing to drive 12 hours at a time just to be there? Get this \u2014 turns out Chad\u2019s grandfather had a \u201967 Ford Econoline pickup sitting behind his peanut processing plant for the past 20 years, and Chad just got the title. It was buried axle deep in sand, and actually had an ant hill in the engine bay. Well James and Chad recently winched the hulk onto a trailer and hauled it back to Phoenix, where it will be Chad\u2019s next project. And of course, James will be handling the paintwork in Hobbs. This truck also was recently traded off to a car builder in Ohio, in exchange for a killer &#8217;51 Ford Custom with a 302 and A\/C.
