GROWING UP, WE ALL REMEMBER GETTING YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE AND BUYING YOUR FIRST VEHICLE. Greg Dennis of Leesville, South Carolina, remembers purchasing his first vehicle like it was yesterday. In 1994, Greg purchased his ’82 Chevrolet C10.

“It was my first truck,” Greg recalls. “My dad had to cosign for me. I cut grass every day after school just to make the payments.”

Little did he know, this C10 would be receiving a major facelift in the future.

A few years passed as Greg continued through school. Greg’s longtime friend, James Smith, had a truck around the same time as well. They became best friends and later on roommates. One day, James showed Greg a truckin’ magazine and immediately he was hooked!

“I had caught the truck bug,” Greg says. “It has been a 25- year dream to be featured in a magazine with a truck that I built. You know you’ve arrived when you are a part of the guys that paved the way for custom vehicles.”

Although Greg didn’t start his C10 build until recently, he never lost sight of his dream.

November 2018 is when Greg decided to begin Operation TRAMP. As every vehicle enthusiast knows, it’s hard to keep a vehicle stock! Greg knew that to make this truck perfect, he would have to start from scratch. He “blew the truck apart” all the way down to the bare frame.
