    ive been searching all over the web for dealerships in the states that will fully custom your trucks like Peterbilt Steve does out in Tulsa at rush truck center . Is there any KW dealerships that will custom build you a truck so I don’t have to buy a truck then take it to a third party to do all my custom work ?

    Please somebody point me in the right direction please

    Isn't it more fun to put it together yourself over time?

    There are only so many options the manufacturer is going to do at the point of final assembly. And they will produce an incomplete truck to a certain point. But lots of the parts are interdependent, either attach to each other, or are hidden by another panel, or structural integrity is involved. And for the obvious reasons a manufacturer isn't going to produce a truck it can't warranty. Every truck produced has to pass the engineering dept approval, and engineers aren't the kind of guys who think custom trucks are da bomb.
    If a dealer wants to backtrack, disassemble it to do the modifications, and some show trucks have extreme modifications, and put it together again, I am sure it is on a time and materials basis, with no warranty express or implied.
    They can't keep their regular customer trucks running, this is asking a lot.
