Osprey is a family business and understands the importance of building something that stands the test of time, as many of their clients have owned cars for generations and hope to pass their vehicles onto future generations. Their handiwork can be seen from the hobbyists' garage to the showroom of SEMA in Las Vegas. Osprey has seen a number of interesting requests, and prides themselves on the notion that, 'if you dream it, we can build it!' They've installed antique flooring, custom engraved exteriors and even custom paint jobs to match houses or other cars. Osprey's latest restoration retains the timelessness of the original model plus modern performance, styling, and convenience. "We've rebuilt this truck from the ground up with all the finest components and finishes", Says Aaron Richardet, owner and founder. "This includes a GM LS engine, automatic transmission, custom paint, and much, much more. This vehicle is actually more capable off road while looking and feeling much more luxurious than the original. "
