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

[88GMCtruck]

Here is the truck all loaded up before leaving. 3 quads, a ton of firewood. Just say on the overloads so I put 40PSI in the bags once the trailer was on the hitch.

Everything all loaded.

Truck ended up getting about 7.2 MPG on the trip there and 7.6 MPG on the way back - mind you this climbing 1 pass and 3 summits. Lots of up and down. I usually push my truck and try to keep the speedlimit too.

Camp!

Thanks. I really like the blacked out look on this truck.


Cheap fun. Got all 3 of them for 1K with a ton of parts. Nice to have them so my friends can join me and I always have a spare incase something isn't working as it should.


Same except I smoked over them.


I didn't find any i liked already smoked. So I went this route.

3 quads and parts for less than a grand...lucky dog.

Bought them from family friends. I've been riding these since I was about 12. Still enough power to get in trouble with for sure.

I have a spare motor, few carbs, and 4 full sets of dirt tires and 4 pairs of rear paddles and 1 pair of front sand tires.

Got everything installed. Need a better picture still in daylight.

Ordered these lug covers, compliments the subtle chrome accents nicely.

Unfortunately they are for GMT800 wheels and the threads aren't deep enough inside so they don't hold the caps tight. Using the black covers for now.

These are a bit euro looking aren't they?

That's better

Haven't been home during the day to get pictures of any of this stuff, been busy to go camping. I'll get some better pictures this weekend. But here is how you fit 3 quads in a 8' bed.

VHT then clearcoat over them, wetsand and buff. One of them didn't turn out quite as nice as I had hoped, I was considering sanding them down and trying some of that vinyl wrap instead, or re-doing them again.

Those are some awesome pics

Thanks

Nice truck, I can't believe that I haven't seen this before now!

I'm surprised you missed it. You were pretty active in my other build threads

Hey Dave, are those parking light bulbs LED? Mind if I ask what kind?

I bought some LED bulbs for them and they aren't bright enough on the signal side - what you see in pictures is regular old 1157 bulbs. I'm going to order more sometime, if they turn out I'll let you know.

Those are the same taillights i had on the 96, i vht'd them as well

I wanted an actual smoked light, so the mostly black background and clear lens worked well to smoke over, with as little light loss as possible.
