RODDING AROUND
The truck features an Alumicraft one-off billet grille, Billet Specialties one-off 22-inch Bonneville wheels, plus the truck features a designer red accent body stripe applied at Alloway’s. The pickup rides on speed-rated Toyo rubber featuring a thin “Redline” added by Diamond Back. And, of course, the ultimate hot rod slammed profile that is a signature design element of all Alloway hot rods will be present in this Chevy pickup.
All registrants are entered for a chance to “win” this truck valued at $70,000-plus. It will be given away by a luck-of-the-draw held during the awards ceremony (Saturday, September 7, 2024) during the Triple Crown of Rodding event. The eventual winner must be present to win; good luck to all registered participants.
