i puked in my mouth after seeing the truck...

for one...PURPLE...its a mans truck

secondly, interior...nuff said

its a work truck, does he need 2 12" subs in a retarded box that ruins the space in the truck...or how about the ugly gold color, or the fact that they replaced his factory dodge POWER seats with some cheap non power buckets that look like something the dog left in the yard.

if that was my truck i would be 100% genuinely PO'd to no end. i wouldn't even accept the truck back from the shop, and i dont even run a farm and need a WORK truck.

19.5 Ricksons would have been great without a lift. They ruined the interior. I'd of rather seen them give it a bedliner, decent paint job without the tribal junk, A southbend clutch,small injectors and an EZ or equilvant box. Maybe a small turbo upgrade and then concentrate on making it a worktruck. Ranchhands front and rear. Maybe a winch that can be moved from the front to the rear via a receiver hitch. Something to actually help him with working and not making it into a pimp my ride special. Of course the ostrich skin seats and cowboyed up interior like mentioned earlier would be nice but I would just get horse crap all over the carpet anyway. I like the rubber mat trucks for work vehicles.

Doesn't matter much, considering the lack of respect the guy had for his truck judging by the before pictures, it'll be trashed in a few months anyway.

I have to Agree. That was the most hideous ram i have ever seen. I'm a faithfull follower of Trick my Truck, i love what they do to Big Rigs, however, they murdered his truck. If i would have done the truck it would have gotten ranch hand bumpers front and rear, a custom either hauler or bail bed, Custom paint that wasn't tribal, i'd say a nice two tone or like wild horses running down the sides, air suspension in the rear that's all on the switch to adjust rear ride height for the ease of towing and also loading into the bed, engine upgrades, maybe not a lift but at least a little bit bigger and more aggressive tire, and then put a little work into the interior with maybe custom leather seats, Rhino lined floorboards, all the gauges in better locations, maybe at least a good stereo without the subs, amps, and TV's, just a good set of speakers in the doors, maybe even a custom cab extension with a larger back seat like a crewcab or something along those lines. Just my opinion as to more of my dream truck as too what i want.

It's funny how they were trying to make the truck look like it was junkyard material at the beginning of the show. When in reality all it needed was a wash and vacuum. Looks like they added the hay in the cab just to make it look more trashed. If anything, I can stand the paintjob. But the interior! I still can't get it out of my head.

Heck, I live here IN Joplin, and I've yet to see the truck. Although I can't say for sure when the episode was filmed. I'd guess spring/early summer. And I really don't know if the guy is a local. Something tells me he is fairly close to this area tho. But, rest assured if I ever run into the guy. I'll find out for sure what he thinks of his truck 'now'!

The paint was ok,thats about it.

Ya I agree with going with OverHaulin,least Foose gets some good info on how the cars and trucks are used,that and his name on a truck would be worth the price of a new one.

It makes you wonder about not seeing the truck that the owner sold it or grabed some one up my the neck and told them to fix it or the cows will come home on there edit*,I mean the guy needs it to make money and they killed the truck.

How in the world did CMT evey let them do that,I mean Country music=cowboys, ranch hands, people working for a living,not East Coast(west coast) wigger truck.
