I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
I've been outfitting my 3/4 ton into my welding truck.
I'm building all the racks and stuff for my torch and Bobcat welder to be able to do all fabrication out in the field. I figured while I was at it, I'd build a tailgate. I bought the truck without a gate at all. I think the name in the middle puts me firmly in the redneck category. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
Actually I think to be an "actual" redneck you have to have mudder tires on the back with regular tires on the front. Your close though

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
I like it! To be more redneck it may need some bailing twine tied to it. MAybe to hold a "same sh!t - difrint day" sign. If my tailgate gets much worse I may do the same thing. People here expect me to make something whenever stuff breaks.

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
If being practical makes you a hillbilly, I'm guilty as charged...
Looks great TX!

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
Looks to me like your a fabricator/welder with a country accent. If you were a Hilbilly, that tailgate would be made from a shipping pallet and the name would be spray painted on.

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
Very Redneck, I agree you need some Boggers on the back and a nice Fat Round pipe bumper would top it off.....and maybe a Rebel flag!

The Tacoma ? Yes it's mine. I ordered it earlier in the year when gas prices were so high. My short bed gets 10 mpg and the Tacoma gets 24. Money well spent. I did have to order it and wait a month to get it as it's a real unusual truck in that configuration.

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
Now you just need some tires with "no hunting" spray painted on them. You can find a nice set hanging on fence posts sometimes.

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
I'm actually building the pipe bumper right now. 4 inch round pipe with rounded corners and treadplate on top. Recessed license plate and back up lights with hidden reciever hitch behind the license plate. I will post pictures when I'm done with it.

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
A hillbilly in flat land country? Maybe a "coastalbilly."
![]() Besides what's been mentioned already, here's a few more things to complement the look. A bale of hay. Upside down rubber boots between the cab and bed. Got to have a chain and coil of hemp rope in there. Throw a set of jumper cables in. And for sure a pair of cojones hanging from the trailer hitch when your done. One more thing, a sticker showing Calvin pi##ng on a Ferd. |

Re: I am a hillbilly and these pictures prove it
You guys got me wrong. I'm rigging it to be my mobile welding truck. The bed will be full of a very large welder, a torch rig, and lots of other welding stuff.
Wait till you see the bumper though. It's big enough to build an elementry school on.
