Re: NEW Tow Rig build
that truck is awsome. did you use the new 5500 for you inspiration when duilding this? i think yours is better cause its a square body. nice build looks like you could start making these for other board members. standard 4 door or optional 6 door or for the realy big family the 10 door hauler. haha

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
That is a great looking truck. Its awesome when someone can take something and make it that much cooler. Quick question... could you not have just bolted up the crewcab in place of the standard cab instead of putting them together?
