I just found out about Cody's situation and wanted to help. Cody is a 20 year old who has fought cancer twice in the last 3 years. He also loves C10 Trucks and has one that he is trying to get finished before he turns 21. With the help of so many great companies like GSI, Accuair, Budnick Wheels, Black Widow exhaust, CPP, Nitto Tire, and many more - the truck is well on his way and he is on the home stretch along with the help of the Make-a-Wish foundation. There's a catch, he would like to get it done before he turns 21, Nov 15th. Which is also the day of the infamous Git Down. Our goal is to help Cody, and the Make-A-Wish foundation to complete the truck so Cody can have it done before Nov 15th and if he wants, he can bring it to the 9th annual Git Down in Phoenix, Arizona. Damn Son!!
