Make It Kustom And HalfAss Kustoms Cab Over Ramp Truck: DAY-1 Of THRASH Weekend – Welding, Wrenching, and TEAR DOWN On The 1971 GMC Cabover Ramp Truck!

It’s time for even more welding, because that is an overarching theme on this build, but this time it’s for a three day thrash weekend where tons of Karl’s buddies are coming over to help finish up the ramp truck and make big headway. It’s got a special payload planned for the first trip already, but there is a ton of work that has to happen before it can happen. Check out the latest progress!

In this video from the Fire Truck turned Ramp Truck, where Make It Kustom and HalfAss Kustoms have gotten together to thrash on Karl’s Make It Kustom rig, you’ll see the bed start getting welded up! The custom air ride and steering are already done, and Karl designed and installed dual shocks on each front corner to make this thing ride just right. It also got some sway bar love front and rear because otherwise this thing might lean over onto its side around a freeway on ramp. The front got custom mounts for the stock GM swaybar that came with the Topkick Chassis. In the rear it got something super simple, but totally custom. Now it’s time for dual rear shocks. Check out how Karl tackles this one, and what he has to think about before he can just start cutting and welding.

This project has been a fun one to watch, it started when Brent from Halfass Kustoms and Karl from Make It Kustom got together to make Karl’s ramp truck project into an LS swapped and air ride equipped cab and chassis in just a few days. Their goal for this project was to make it run and do a burnout before Brent had to go back home to Manitoba. It’s a lot to do in just 4 days, but they made it happen! But a lot has happened since then!
