About this project:

Chip Foose has worked on cars, trucks, motorcycles, school buses, and event the Motor City Hotel in Detroit. The Big Buck is his first tractor.

The 4020 will be completely taken apart, detailed, and then rebuilt. All components will be removable, so the tractor could be returned to stock.

Chip was surprised when he saw how big the tractor is; he wasn’t expecting it to be so tall.

When the tractor arrived, Chip drove it off the truck himself. Then he took it for a spin around the block because he was having so much fun driving it.
