CONQUERING A SELF-SET CHALLENGE IS A REWARDING AND SATISFYING FEELING THAT ONLY A FEW GET TO EXPERIENCE. Long term, money sucking projects are tough obstacles that cause many to give up. But it takes more than that for diehard, determined guys like Howard McDaniel throw in the towel. No matter how hard or how much, they figure out a way.

So, when the time came for a new longterm, hair-pulling project for Howard to tackle in his free time, a custom built, highly modified Chevy dually truck kept creeping into his thoughts.

“I’ve always wanted to design a crew-cab dually, but I wanted my build to set myself apart from the rest,” says Howard, a police officer in Lufkin, Texas.
