Re: NEW Tow Rig builded

Re: NEW Tow Rig builded
 

Thats awesome, would like to learn how to do that for a 55 chevy truck conversion.

Re: NEW Tow Rig builded
 

Did you O/A weld/braze across the roof as well??

Looks like it was quite the project. Good Job.

Re: NEW Tow Rig builded
 

man that thing is bad a$$. i want one!!! looks like a south east texas limo to me. what engine you plan on useing in that thing?? that would be cool with some rockwell axles under it.

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

you sir are a madman! i mean that in a good way.. that is so cool! how did the roof skin line up?

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

nice, thats badass

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

very cool!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

very cool now please dont tell us youre going to lower it and bag it

Re: NEW Tow Rig builded
 

the whole thing was braze besides the frame

Re: NEW Tow Rig builded
 

it has the org 366 tall dack motor im not for sure it im going to run rockwells yet or go with a dually 60 and 80 rear thats going to be down the road

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

no no going higher if any :metal:

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

the roof lined up pretty good for using a 89 crew cab and a 78 stander cab :lol:

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

That is awesome!!!!! What a tow rig!!!!!!

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 10 door is crazy! id drive it:smoke:

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

now that is a truck! nice work!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

Excellent work man! It's great having something no one else does!!

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?

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

Awesome beast man!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

nice!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

cool I have seen them on ebay for time to time but never one built on here. really neat truck.

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

the crew cab had the brackets for the hood on it and the fire wall is different on the standard cab its back about 8 to 10 inchs because the motor sets back not like a regular truck

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

Well I'm mad now.

i live about 40 miles east of you (beautiful Berville). I've been looking at my 87 GMC 2-ton, 366/5spd for a couple of years, wondering how to make room for all 4 of us. And you beat me to it.
Curious question - did you look at getting a crew cab (correct one) out of a j-yard? I've seen a few road commision trucks with 4 doors.

I though for mine I'd get a 2nd regular cab and mount it backwards, cut both at the top seam and weld it up. Then the kids could look out the back, kinda like the old 3rd seat wagons. Only they could have their own wipers.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the state get you for plates? And how do you insure it? I'm assumming it's wet brakes and under 26k gross so no CDL...

Neat truck!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

I didn't know dually trucks beds grow on trees.....hmmmmmmmm ! ! ! !

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

great job.

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

well its not plated yet still have to get it inspected by the Sec. State i was going for assemble title so its taking some time and i go out your way some times to mudboggs so you might see me lol
looking for the right cab NO a few of my buddys said that i couldnt do it so my other buddy helped me

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

nice work!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

that is quite a rig!

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

Man, both of those rigs are ANIMALS! I personally think the boggers look better on your suburban cause their definitely waaaay meatier.

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

:agree:

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

i'd be tempted to throw a truck cap on it, and put a bed back there and register it as an RV.

air brakes, and 30K over each rear wheel, none of those guys are required to have a CDL... just a thought.

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

d@@@@@@@mn. That boggin burban is bad. Luv it better without the tractor tires. What size of lift and tires u got? Swwet. I envy you

Re: NEW Tow Rig build
 

Bagged and zeeeed would be SICK!!!!


Just kidding... looks great man! Bet it could pull a redwood out of the ground!
