lol While I appreciate the name suggestion, I think I'll have to pass!!! The poor old guy has a pretty ugly color of pinkish red covering the factory blue. And to top that off the ugly pinkish has rattle bomb black that has faded and is what you see as the spots. I am probably going to leave the pinkish red for now but I'm going to do my damnedest to remove the rattle can drips!
I'll get those photos as soon as I'm home when the sun is up!! there isn't much left of whatever might have been back there, a homemade linkage/lever at the rear of the bed, and the PTO shaft and gear under the back of the cab. Someone welded and extended the bed with some channel out about 3 feet or so. The bed is now about 13ft long. My plans are to shorten that enough that I can get a goose neck horse trailer over the axle better, but leave enough to keep the longer look to it.
I am also going to snap a few shots of the Rims on it to see if anyone can advise me what they are. I think they're the three piece ones, but being new to this size wheel, I'd like to leave that to someone with more experience!!
