How To Make Your Semi Into A Pickup

Interesting use for a used International.  Email me for a list of Cheap Trucks.























Ridin ' Small? Give Me a Call !


Welcome, Big Ass Truck lovers! Check out these babies....but wait, there's a warning. If you are the type of person who is happy taking a little 1/2 or 3/4 ton "baby" truck.......throwing away ten to fifteen thousand dollars trying to add enough parts to make it LOOK like a big truck.....perhaps you should visit a more suitable site......maybe www. sissytruck.com, or someplace like that.

This site features REAL trucks, built by a professional diesel mechanic. You won't find lift kits or oversized wheels...........But you also won't find trucks that can't be held on the road or need a ladder to get into either!

All of these creations start life as 2 or 2 1/2 ton medium duty trucks. I search the country to find trucks that have been cared for and maintained to my standards. Once in my shop, I inspect the chassis and perform any needed repairs before making any modifications. The frame and driveline are then shortened to the proper length to accept a regular "dually" bed. A subframe of suitable strength is then fabricated, enabling the bed to be mounted at the exact height of the cab, providing a "factory mounted" appearance.

Each one of these vehicles is truly "one of a kind" as they are hand built, one at a time. No two trucks are alike and each has it's own personality.........They are all my babies and building them is truly a labor of love. 
If you don't like attention....don't buy one of my trucks!

Introducing the International TerraStar, the new class 4/5 truck

Unlike our competition, the class 4/5 TerraStar comes from 100 years of commercial-duty truck experience. In fact, it’s built on the three pillars of commercial-duty performance: commercial-grade components, ease of operation and efficient power.
Component-wise, TerraStar’s 80,000 PSI frame rails rank best-in-class. It also features a huck-bolted frame and an Allison 1000 transmission.And talk about easy to operate. TerraStar has the largest cab in it’s class (30% more room for your crew than our leading competitor) and best-in-class visibility (28% better than the leading competitor).
TerraStar’s efficient power comes from the all-new 300-hp MaxxForce® 7, an engine purpose-built for medium duty. It also features MaxxForce Advanced EGR, the only no-hassle, no liquid urea solution for 2010 emissions.TerraStar is a true commercial-duty work truck–the kind you can build your business around.
