PROJECTTRUCK:SURVEYOR1
By Bruce W. Smith
E
very year we build a truck
targeting a segment within
the different working
environments of heavy construction and contracting such as road/
bridge building, site development
and landscaping. At the end of the
build the truck is given away to
some lucky sweepstakes winner.
Three years ago we turned a
2010 Ram 2500 Crew Cab diesel,
called Big Boss, into a field lube/
service truck. The year after that
we upfitted an F-250 we called
"Super Crew" to be a go-anywhere off-pavement work truck.
Last year, Big Red, a 2008 GMC
Dually, was totally refurbished
to be a head-turning, dependable, light-duty service truck
with a slide-out service body
and the equipment necessary
to weld and wrench in the field.
All of the previous truck
builds, and the steps we took
to upfit them, can be found on
our website (www.propickupmag.com/project-trucks).
Now, with the sponsorship
of Mobil Delvac and Ram
Commercial Truck, we begin
our 2014 Sweepstakes truck:
Surveyor 1.
