It was built into a street rod at Oceanside Kustoms in Parksville, British Columbia, under previous ownership. Power comes from a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 with a Jim Inglese 8-stack EFI system and a Holley Terminator X ECU, and the engine is backed by a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end. The truck rides on a custom frame with a Total Cost Involved independent front assembly and four-link rear setup, as well as Ridetech adjustable coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, and Billet Specialties 17″ wheels. Exterior hardware has been shaved, and highlights include rear-hinged doors, front bumperettes, tri-bar headlights, rear barn doors, and flush-mounted taillights. Inside, Italian leather upholstery is complemented by square-weave carpets, power-adjustable seats, Vintage Air climate control, power windows, a Lokar shifter, and a Pioneer digital media receiver.

The front doors were shaved and mounted on concealed rear hinges during the build, and the headlight housings were faired into the front fenders. A flush-mounted fuel filler door was added to the left quarter panel. A recessed license plate box and flush-mounted rectangular taillights were added to the rear valance, and the rear barn doors were also shaved, mounted on concealed hinges, and fitted with tinted glass. The truck was repainted metallic red, and “Red Relic” lettering was added to the right-rear corner. Other details include a chrome grille, front bumperettes, tri-bar headlights, a split windshield, running boards, and round side mirrors. Electric poppers open all of the doors using a fob. The majority of the photos were taken in 2025.

Billet Specialties 17″ wheels wear color-keyed center caps and are wrapped in 235/45 front and 275/50 rear Nitto tires. The frame was custom-fabricated by Doug Blakey in Lantzville, British Columbia, and incorporates a TCI independent front assembly with polished tubular control arms and power rack-and-pinion steering, a TCI four-link rear setup with a Panhard rod, and Ridetech adjustable coilovers all around. Braking is handled by Wilwood discs with electric assistance.

The cabin is trimmed in custom beige Italian leather and features BMW-sourced power-adjustable bucket seats with integrated three-point seat belts. Brown square-weave carpets line the floors, and a Pioneer digital media receiver is mounted in an overhead console. A Vintage Air climate control system, a Lokar shifter, a rearview mirror camera, and power windows have also been added.
