Rod enjoys cruising his creation while listening to his favorite tunes through a Sony head unit that routes the mids and highs through a Rockford Fosgate 4020 amp that sings through Polk 6-1/2-inch speakers. The lows are pummeled out of a JL Stealth Box powered by a Rockford Fosgate Punch 100, providing just enough pop to turn the heads of those who may have missed the chopped S-10 on the first go around.

With the support of his father, Roy Strawderman, and his wife Jennifer, who kindly let us shoot this truck on their anniversary, Rod was able to create the show truck he always dreamed of. In fact, this chop-top S-10 has even won a House of Kolor Best Use of Paint Color award. Rod tells us he couldn't have done it without the people who helped him, including Greg Burrier, Jessie and Rick at J&J Custom Motorsports, Don Elkin's Upholstery, Shawn at Emen Heiser's Autobody, and the guys in his club, Exclusive Styles. Enjoy the quality craftsmanship spread throughout these pages, because Rod says the next time we see his truck, it may have taken on a completely new look.
