Red98's Ghetto Rig

[CrustyJunker]

As long as you take a little pride in your work, I don't think anyone is going to bully you here.

Your truck looks just fine, do your thing!

Pics are kinda vague, nothing really incriminating in there.

Just added a few more pics to the album, biggest thing I did as far as cutting corners, basically 0 prep work, just blasting thru paint and rust on my welds mostly. Some of the boogers on there are pretty gnarly but they hold strong (so far), I learned that welding upside down while laying on your back is a whole new ballgame compared to welding on the workbench using a vise.

Ghetto??
Your truck is not 'ghetto' at all. It looks good.

Mine is ghetto

But my 'customization' was converting it to a dump bed so this old man can continue to work around the place without having to shovel out whatever I load.

Y’all must have different definitions of “ghetto” because neither look like that to me.

Dump bed looks pretty practical, can’t say I’d blame you for making it easier for working around the place.

What year is the GMC in the background and what’s next to it (a Suburban?)

When you have a truck that no two panels are the same color, and more rust holes then actual steel, then you have a ghetto truck.

And if you have to brag it can make a 3 hour one way trip. Those 3 factors define a U.P. truck.
