Contraband Customs

Recently wrapped up a job for my friend Mike Shutts. Mike dropped off the chassis for his 1986 double bunk Kenworth K-100. Big thanks to Matt from M&J Media Blasting for all his help getting this project done. We started by stripping just about everything but the steer axle out and spot blasted and epoxy primed between all the pieces that bolt to the rails. The rear section of the frame was set up as ramps for a detach trailer so Matt cut all that mess off and we tapered the rear section for a more practical and factory look. I rebushed the AG -100 suspension along with updating the suspension wishbones to new cast aluminum ones. Thanks to Twin State Truck service for helping me get the sway bars re bushed. We also rebuilt the entire cab-mate air ride cab suspension replacing the old cobbled together stuff from years of service. Then we blasted the frame, epoxy primed and skimmed it to fill in any pits and then laid down the beautiful blue topcoat that my buddy Gary at Sanels in Keene absolutely nailed to match the cab from the original cab paint code. Thanks to J&J towing for carefully towing the finished product over to my buddy Dave’s to use his loading dock to get it on Mikes step deck.
Big thanks to all involved that help me weekly. Especially Matt on this one for working in the shop with me on it. I can’t imagine working for me, I drive myself crazy.
