Re: Project rusty tow rig. (68 c20)
ok here is the next little update. not as many photos right now. repaired the crappy rear frame sections and installed the boyd's fuel tank. installed air assist in the rear as well. i will put the trailer hitch on after i get the bumper (much later in the build) i loved seeing the lexus ultrasonic blue mica 2.0 in the direct sunlight , cant wait until that gets finished!!!
