thats not stupid at all man. guess you have to know what your looking for. lol

 

heh its just a spacer... really nothing to it besides a bunch of spacers, and long bolts.

 

yes you have that is what i have dua.

 

picked up a no name CB antenna today from a buddy for 25 bucks... seems to be a fiberblass style... need to mount the toolbox and then mount the antenna to the toolbox and get new coax for it...

 

good deal man. what cb ya running?

 

cobra somethin-r-other... i dont know the model # offhand, but its one of the little buggers that fits where the ashtray is supposed to go with some minor modding...


Got the toolbox mounted temporarily today... i know its kinda rigged, but it doesnt look bad... itll have to last until i can get my hands on some C-Channel iron...
anyways, i had some scrap 2x4s lyin around, so i cut em down to size, and painted them with primer before 2 coats of black...
its a 20/20 job, but itll get me by...







the CB antenna will get mounted tomorrow, hopefully, as well as some "creative personal touches" by my buddy Pong... you guys prolly wont like it, but hell, it aint your truck!

 

oh gotcha, prolly the cobra 19 then. oh ya and that black piece of wood actually makes toolbox look better than before!!! But what is keeping it from resting on the rails???

 

its not made for a taco...
so the very corners of the box sit atop the wheel wells...
i could have angled it and had the box sit flush, buuuuttt i like how it sits flush with the back window, it gives me a little more room for storage inside it, and it lifts the box up a little giving me more foot room for sleeping in the bed...

and, yes, its the cobra 19 Ultra IIIs...

 

Hell it looks fine!!!

 

oh gotcha. looking back at the pics i see it now

 

ok guys... ive got my flame retardant suit on...
so go ahead and bring it...

here is the bodywork my buddy pong did for me today...

















in case your wondering, yes, its paint and its permanent...

my buddy Pong, who is a local artist did this for me... Its his interpretation on who id be if i were an animal, and i absolutely LOVE it... get a lot of crazy looks, but i dont care...

and, just in case your wondering, yes, Pong is a PROFESSIONAL... he gets paid 200-500 dollars to paint hoods and cars in his spray paint tagging style... in fact, he even painted a Scion xB hood and sold it to a guy who hung it on his wall over his couch...
His album can be found HERE if your interested

anyways, i dont think its too bad of a deal to trade

 

Well I'll tell ya this...Not my truck can't tell ya what to do. Would I, not sure???

I will say he did a great job!!! He is a very talented artist and has found a niche. He should get his stuff posted on something other than FB so that others can see it.

 

He actually has artwork in several gelleries from Sacramento to San Francisco...

 

wow junk you know two professional painters. small world

 

i know two professional painters?

how so?

 

I used to be as well man.

 

what kind of art?

 

not what most people would call art, but i did custom finishes on wood.

I did art as a hobby, I have taken just about every art class available in the public educations system in every medium but photography.

I have not drawn in a long long time now. Ive been thinking i should again as i did love it when i did, but i can never get my self to just sit down and do it.

 

Pics or it didnt happen, Keith...

 

lol. I should have expected that one huh.

i dont have any pics as it has been a vary long time man. i might have to get somthing together to prove it i guess.
