Tow Pig Resurection

Well,

I've been working, albeit slowly, to get the HD back looking good. It was in Street Trucks Aug, 2005 and it's all be downhill from there. I picked it up wrecked from my friend who built it. It was already flat black at this point. So I swapped the front cap and have been working on getting the bed repaired. I've never been a fan of a notch cover, especially on a truck I plan to use. I'll let the pics talk.








The bodywork in the gate was coming back so I reshaved it.


Then it was wearing tires bad so I redid the arms. Eric from LSOH made me some new BJ cups.





Then I bought a new bed that was completelly stock but wrecked on one side. So I cut my existing rt bedside off(the only usable part of that bed)




Installed new bedside

Then bodydropped it 4.5" to clear the notch and make room for gooseneck.






Then got it all together. I want to get the hitch installed and paint it before summer.


New hitch. At least a start for one.

Cool project

cool build!.... more pics!

Nice

SO I've gotten alot of work done and didn't really post pics.

Cleaned all the front mounts off

New Mounts and Arms from Little Shop

Paint



Then started outback

Then the body work started. In those last couple pics you can see the front end isn't stock. I clipped it with a 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 front end, but kept my stock wheel openings and flares. The bumper is 2 piece instead of 3 all sheetmetal with a factory lower valance. I have a few more pics of things if anyone wants to see anything in particular. The Wheels are Milanni Kool Whip 8's 24x9.5 wrapped in 285/35 fronts and 305/35 rears.

Killer!

I'm looking to do the same front end on my 2001. What did you have to do to the hood?

What color is that red

any more pics of the bodywork on the front...looks awesome
