THE STORY BEHIND 785 UPFITTING
22 Years of Experience,
A Passion Built Along the Way.
For more than 22 years, I’ve worked in the automotive profession developing the skills, knowledge, and experience that eventually became the foundation of 785 Upfitting. Throughout that time, vehicle upfitting and automotive electrical work were always the areas I was most passionate about.
That experience wasn’t built overnight. It came through years of diagnostics, troubleshooting, installations, testing different methods, learning from what worked—and just as importantly, learning from what didn’t. Those experiences helped me develop proven methods for wiring, electrical connections, equipment installation, and diagnostics focused on creating clean, stable, dependable results.
785 Upfitting is the result of taking that experience and building something of my own around it. The goal is to provide customers with a local resource they can trust—one that listens to what they actually need, takes pride in the work, and delivers a vehicle built around the job it needs to perform.
HOW WE APPROACH EVERY BUILD
Your Vehicle. Your Needs.
Built the Right Way.
No two vehicles—and no two customers—have exactly the same needs. At 785 Upfitting, every project starts by understanding how the vehicle will be used, what equipment needs to be integrated, and what the customer expects from the finished build.
From planning and equipment placement to wiring, installation, and final testing, attention is given to the details that help create a clean, functional, and dependable finished product.
