I swear down here in the south there's dam near a truck in every gosh darned driveway... this one is mine.
"Rebel Yell" is a 100% southern truck commandeered from the Fort Wayne Indiana assembly plant just north of the Mason Dixon Line in the year two thousand.

Started life as a 200HP 4.3 V6 that suffered from the Dexcool induced intake gaskets weeping, still ran excellent but "Rebel Yell" needed something more as it had the suspension drop, Denali conversion bumper, nice paint (retired body/paint guy) and LTZ 20's. An LQ9 6.0 from a 2005 Escalade was procured, so the build begins.
