Once the foundation was set, the team
took one of their new ’57 cabs and dropped
it on the chassis, along with a bed from
Mar-K. Afterward, all the other sheetmetal
pieces were collected before adding a few
DROPPING ON THE CAB
custom touches. Starting at the front is a
smoothed bumper that was tucked closer
to the body. Then, the grille was modified
to resemble one found on a ’57 Bel Air. The
doors were modified to fit a set of sleek and
modern Lokar handles. Next, the rear fenders
received cutouts for the Borla exhaust and
the rear bumper was ditched to make way
for a roll pan. With all the exterior panels in
place, the body was worked smooth and
painted in House of Kolor Snow White Pearl
and Blue Blood Red.
EYE-CATCHING INTERIOR
Next up was the interior, featuring an
Ididit steering column with a Budnik wheel.
Other details include a Dakota Digital gauge
cluster and Lokar shifter and pedals. Then,
it was all sent to Ron Mangus, who started
by adding bucket seats, a custom center
console and redesigned door panels. Just
about the entire interior was covered in red
leather, including the dash.
Though it can be considered a new
truck, all the parts are based off the original
and can be used on the real thing. Premier
has shown us all how you can build one of
these trucks without the hassle of searching
for old, worn-out parts. With the company’s
help, you can start with fresh, new products
to help you get to your goal with less troubles.
The results speak for themselves, as
“Snow White” has become a modern legend
in the custom-truck scene. This truck was
debuted at the annual SEMA Show, and it
was one of the hottest in attendance. It was
later taken to a handful of shows and won a
few awards. It became a Good Guys Truck of
the Year early finalist and even took Best of
Show at the inaugural C10 Nationals. These
awards are nice, but what Premier really
proved is you can create an amazing classic
truck with all-new parts.
