Meet the man behind the truck.

I was born in Louisville, KY but spent most of my life in Tennessee. I worked hard on a live stock farm where I enjoyed life in the country. Living in the country most of my life has given me the work ethic I have today.

Years of seeing my father restore old vehicles, being around old farm trucks along with years of enjoying vintage car shows gave me the passion to have something of my own.

The idea of restoring The Truck Elaine came to me after the death of my beloved wife Jennifer Elaine Kiper. We always enjoyed the vintage vehicles at the shows. We liked the shinny new looking restorations but most of all we enjoyed the ones that had some rust and patina.

Elaine started out as a Government owned truck stationed at Fort Knox. She had the perfect patina and I knew it would be the perfect truck to honor her. Tons of work has gone into the build and everything turned out perfect from the cowhide interior to the lowered stance she has. A ranch themed truck for a country boy and girl at heart.
