Field notes

The project organizes the truck’s history into six chapters, moving from bare steel to show floor, alongside a technical build sheet. Visible specifications include a torque-plate-bored 496 ci Gen V block, a 4.25-inch forged stroker crank, twin 750 cfm carburetors, pneumatic suspension, and custom Camaro Rallye wheels widened by Stockton Wheel. The page also identifies the builder as Rob Millerick and gives the Las Vegas tour stop as September 26, 2026.
