im tired of it.... as i get time , im changing it up .... this time maybe paint too.. hahah.... im not wanting to redo the whole thing, just upgrade the bags and tanks and compressors.... i dont want to spend alot of time on this.. due to wanting to start a new project.... no need of changing suspension due to it worked, not BROKE and still DRIVING after 10+ years!!!!
heres some pics after james airbrushed the graphics before i took apart the truck and sold alot of sheetmetal ..

You do some awesome work man.keep us posted.

[Smoke]

You mean...that with all that BIG money you are bringing in from ....elsewhere....you have not finished YOUR truck yet?

Looks great man...and I like that tub work in the rear...that bead on the wheel tub might not be much, but it adds a ton to the look of it IMO.

What do you use to cut the fingers out that mate up with the wavy stock bedfloor so it all interlocks and looks pretty?

the fingers? i just made a cardboard template of the floor, and traced it on the tubs, and just cut it off with a cut off wheel....

[Ice]

left me a message? i didnt see it ? sorry..... no silver star! ill have an opening when your ready if you still talking about the same month as we discused around at the last show..:sheep:

Hey ice...how about some more pictures of the hood?? I have that older style hood and I want to do something similar to what you got going on there.

ill try when i get a chance.... the hood was really not planned out... i cut it and then went from there.... so its all just being puzzled together... if it comes out cool, ill be happy, if not... then im doing what im getting ready to do to it, thats cutting the front of it and redoing it.. haha

now with all the money that you are pulling in with this shop of urs, are u paying for all this adverstising.....jk

lol , sampson painted on my truck .. haha.. great....

whole main goal, is to do off the wall things.....

i tend to see people worried about trying new things cause they are afraid of being mad fun of or being no cool..... to me cool, is being different.... and if people dont like my truck.... thats fine.... cause its mine, not theres...

[HUHJake]

I like the new look of the box, definitely need to paint Milk Bone in there haha, or make your tag MLK BNE

[That Guy]

I thought... Miller label...

http://www.sevenpack.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/MillerHighLife.jpg

I'm liking the hood so far too. Can't wait to see it done.

[Smoke]

^------

Thats exactally what I thought of too. Nice!

[Ice]

man , i cant win from loosing... it looks like FOX, now it looks like Miller ... arrgggg.. . i dont even drink..... hahaha....

oh well.... guess my tubs look like airplane wings? :rofl2:

but again... the key is ... different.... outside the box.....

[97_hardbody]

no matter which way anyone wants to look at it...its still comin ou badass!!! keep up the good work

[jaxon23]

I remember when it was white and not even bagged lol i think the next summer your primered it and bagged it

[HybridImages]

I like the new look of the box, definitely need to paint Milk Bone in there haha, or make your tag MLK BNE

why the space flat out put MLKBONE if you don't spell out bone and leave a space someone may get the idea that he's making a civil rights statement or some shit.............and damn the miller is a better match just put MGD on the plate or better yet Miller would be fitting don't you use a miller welder?

[HUHJake]

in Texas you can only use 6 letters even on a custom plate I'm pretty sure. But if you can use 7 then that's even better!

[drginazzhb92]

dam matt love the tag the hood and the tubs....actually the hole dam truck liked it befor and i'm lovein it now....cant wait to see more progress

[pugz]

i like the new tag box better.

[hardbodymodder]

[97redhardbody]

Holy shit bro!!! So now what?

[Pat Muhgooch]

if they dont total it its time for a rebuild i guess
and a 16 year old girl made a left in front of me comming in the other direction so she is at fault

[sparkn98]

damn that shit sucks man

[projectpat]

Ice what happened to the hood your were making for the truck?

[jcjcsoccerkid]

this is sad, keep it if at all possible. i dont wanna see this truck go to the dump

[97redhardbody]

if they dont total it its time for a rebuild i guess
and a 16 year old girl made a left in front of me comming in the other direction so she is at fault
damn new drivers!!

[chadcrissdesign]

holy crap! who keyed ur truck.... was it a tree?

[kreativez]

That is a damn shame

[Ice]

at least your ok ...

[OLDSCHOOL]

I fixed my old one, and it was way worse, I tried to drive under a 4x4 F150.
looks like frame is good all the damage was above it

[HybridImages]

Man I don't think your new modification the the front end will go over as well as you may have been thinking.

[02GreenFronty]

any news on if it's salvageable??

[Smoke]

Man I don't think your new modification the the front end will go over as well as you may have been thinking.

Bwahahaha...sorry Pat, but that was fucking funny.

It sucks to see a sweet truck all twisted up, but look at some of the others that have been in ruin and are now back and better than ever. Good luck on the rebuild.

[Irongrave]

the same thing happened to my truck but was an 80 year old man hopefully she can be rebuilt

[Pat Muhgooch]

still waiting on the adjuster to come out and look at it
but i did get a lawyer because my back,shoulders,ribs and knee are fucked up
if i can i will buy the truck back but i dont know if it will get fixed because i dont know if it will pass an inspection

[beaver720]

not being a doosh, but if it cant be fixed keep it in the front yard as a custom flowerpot, and make sure that girls dad pays to fix it if it is fixable, good to hear ur ok other than what u stated

[Pat Muhgooch]

and the verdict is that its totaled

[sparkinframe]

so you are buying it back, and making it better?

[Irongrave]

buy it back and send it back to ice

[lilFlip]

buy it back and send it back to ice

and then he can make it better on that dude's dime! :D

[Pat Muhgooch]

i think i am going to fix it and sell it because i just dont have good luck with it so watch for this one on the for sale list and i will be looking for a 96-98 c1500 v8 extended cab

[manic_mechanic]

How much you want for it? I wouldnt mind gettin her back and finishing her.

[Pat Muhgooch]

you dont want it
i bought a 67 520 and i kindof stole the engine, trans, and front end to build the new truck. stock floor and traditonal.
gave a friend the cap for his nissan quad cab project
the back half, the bed and the wheels are all i have left.

[$krap_IN_flesh]

sucks a piece of history is gone

[Ice]

[manic_mechanic]

Shiet... I was gonna rebuild the truck. I need a tow pig to tow my bike to Sturgis next year.

[IRingTwyce]

[manic_mechanic]
