88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

[slim]

Thanks guys!

There are only 4 because you run the stock steel wheels on the inner rear tire. Studs aren't long enough to accommodate two sets of aluminum wheels

Makes sense. Our semis run aluminum inner and outer, and most dually pickups around here just run steel wheels. I enjoy all your builds, you make things look factory or like they belong.

So how long until the wheels are mounted?

For those interested, I have more sets of the Factory GM cablight inserts available in the For Sale section

Had a bit of time to cleanup the bumper and coat it

Then took it a step farther and modified a licence plate bracket, installed some custom 88-89 adjusters and Bosch e-code h4 lights I had sitting around. Ignore my Montana "test" plate.

I might have to steal that light idea for my bumper, any pics of how they're mounted?

They are a set of modified 88-89 adjusters with some custom brackets that bolt to the bumper. I made a very barbaric version over 10 years ago on my 88 and this is a refined version. I'll have to get some picts later.

That will look great on the dually. Great work as always. Did you paint or bedline the bumper?

That looks great, make sure you get some night pics of the light beam pattern , gong to look great when installed

Live action!!

I used Plasti-dip on the bumper. I thought about beadliner but i'm worried it would look too rough and not stick well enough. At least the plasti-dip is easily removed and re-done.

I have a set of H4 Bi-xenon HIDs on order for the lights. Will be High and Low beam foglights.

That's awesome dave! Can't wait to see everything come together. This really makes me want a dually. I wish I could build a short bed dually. A ccsb dually is my dream one day.
