Little Progress
 

Well, This truck started its life as a tow truck for a body shop here in town. I just picked it up about a month ago and started my buildup. Going for that newstalgia look. I know its not a 40' 50's hotrod, but I love whitewalls and I think it will look pretty cool when its all done. I'm wrapping up the rear as we speak. Just a notch and bags in the rear, 2 1/2 inch spindles will go in the front when they come in w/bags also. All 1/4 inch line and fittings going to manual valves in the cab. So take a look and comment on it so far...yes its an 8 lug, I thought that big eaton would look cool coming up through the bed.

I like it, the paint works with the whitewalls, no bed, just throw some old floormats on for mud flaps :cool:

That will get your neighborhood cops excited, hope to se more on this.

Put the wrecker bed back on it.It's a cool rig and should be great for picking up more projects.

Re: Little Progress
 

haha, yeah, restore the wrecker bed and put it on there, get some longbed trim to make it look like a factory wrecker bed (brown with the white stripe on the bottom seperated by trim)

Re: Little Progress
 

It has a regular bed, he just had a wrecker setup in the bed. The bed is sitting on saw horses in the shop

yeah, i thought it was an ex-tow rig, would be cool to put a nestolagic hotrod shop logo on the door, bed and tow rig back on, then youd have a 67-72 rollin on whitewalls while draggin other projects home, and think of the attention a slammed 3/4 ton on whitewalls with a tow setup in the bed would get.
