All that tube work and probably a whole new suspension and more - what's the point of using a Raptor when you could start with a much less costly F150?

As for the fiberglass work unless you're a fan of the look I assume the only reason you'd do it is to allow for a LT suspension kit and 37" tires, right?
My guess is they didn't buy a driving Raptor to start this build, just bought a cab and started building a high end prerunner, that wouldnt make sence when you can get this cab for a few K versus cutting the sh*t out of a SVT. The builder is known for his 300-700K trucks.
According another member on another site, they are building 2 trucks right now

Looks to be a tube chassis and center mounted

Very interesting. Not my personal preference, but the more mods the more choices we have and the better we can differentiate :D

As far as the SR Raptor, the cab doesn't look to be any of the 4 Raptor colors, so I would agree I doubt they are starting with a SVT Raptor VIN/cab/pickup.

Talon, I am local right here in SD, so I can stop by and take pics to post if you are not local and you'd like me to. FFS
