Here is ROD MILLER’S model 386 Peterbilt fresh off the assembly line, and fresh out of the CSM custom shop…..

“THE BOYZ” splashed “hot ROD” orange paint all over the inside . . . on the dash panels, trim, and yes, yes, you saw it right, the floor….which holds up a pair of sweet lookin “CSM” low base seats, custom pedals, and a Rockwood shift cover with an old school 359 rubber shift boot around the stick!!!

On the outside we custom fitted this Aero style HOT ROD with flush painted frame covers, CSM cab/sleeper skirts, a frame filler panel at the rear of the fuel tanks, and a 14—count em—14 light “CSM” rear light bar!!!!! Put your shades on if you follow this guy!!!

Up front is a wicked looking vcp bumper with spoiler to bring the nose even closer to the ground after the crew lowered it!!!

We called up our ol’ buddies at Thunder Graffix to customize all the emblems for us; we put “CSM” on the nose and the truck number on the sides of the hood.

Rod wanted this unit number in memory of a young friend’s badge number; that was a true American hero.

His role as a firefighter ended as he was responding to a call. His car hydroplaned and struck a tree, ending his young life at the age of only 22.

To Jared : Thanks for all you did ……..your memory will not be forgotten.

Mr. Miller,

Thanks for letting us build “IT AINT ABOUT EASY” for ya!

Another great example of Aerodynamics with ‘style & attitude!’

PS: Special thanks to our friends at BLT Chrome Shop in Ohio for your assistance in making this build happen in Joplin, Mo.  J
