A build in progress, not a brochure

These are our own clips from the shop floor: a frame stripped and painted, a custom gauge cluster going into the dash, an engine coming together on the stand, and interior finish work underway. This is what a full build looks like in the middle, before the polish.

Filmed in our Sumner shop. Nothing staged, nothing stock.

How a build comes together

From a conversation to the keys

01

Tell us the truck you want

The truck you have, the truck you want, and how it will be used. That conversation decides everything downstream.

02

Scope it in stages

Frame, engine, suspension, interior, finish — planned in an order that never undoes earlier work, with a timeline you can follow.

03

Build it under one roof

Engine, air ride, flooring and dash all built by the same people in the same Sumner shop. Nothing gets handed off.

04

Assemble, test, hand over

Final assembly, inspection and road testing before you get the keys — and one shop that knows the whole truck afterward.

Questions & answers

Custom build FAQs

Common questions about custom builds. Have a specific truck in mind? Call (206) 304-6870 and talk to the people who'll build it.

Do you do custom semi truck builds?

Yes. Our Sumner shop does full frame-up custom builds as well as the individual pieces: custom engine builds from 500 to 1,200 horsepower depending on application, engine swaps, custom air ride kits and custom cab and sleeper flooring. Everything is planned together and built by the same crew.

How much horsepower can you build into a semi truck engine?

Our custom engine builds range from 500 to 1,200 horsepower depending on the application. Long-haul reliability sits at one end of that range and heavy-haul or show builds at the other — the job decides the number, and the cooling, fuel and drivetrain get matched to it.

Can I do a custom build in stages?

Yes. Most builds are staged so the truck keeps earning between phases — engine and suspension first, interior and finish later, for example. We plan the order so early work never has to be undone.

Do you install air ride on semi trucks?

We design and install custom air ride kits — bags, tanks, valves, lines and controls — and set ride height and leveling to the truck. We also repair existing air suspension: leaking bags, failed leveling valves and worn shocks.

Tell us about the truck you want to build
