|  ~TSS~ Shop Truck Rebuild
after building the shop nearly a year ago, i finally got a break from customer builds, and decided to revamp the shop truck. weve been using my silverado sittin on 24s and bags to run parts around town, worked ok, but just the wrong image for the shop, until now we just didnt have time to do anything about it, so shes getting a full over haul. Plans are: solid axle swap arb manual lockers in-house chassis 540ci big block 30" Fox Shox 2.0 Stealth transfer case 37" or 42" meats 19" wheels, more than likely a set of our 2008 TSS beadlocks and some fresh paint as you can see the truck just doesnt fit the shops image  shot of the new shop....  well time to pull the truck inside and go to work  Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 12-19-2007 at 08:28 AM. |

then called a flat bed and sent the body off to the paint shop to begin prep work. so we got started assembling the in-house chassis, custom designed to fit the shop silverado.  Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 12-19-2007 at 08:53 AM. |

bought it from another shop in town that was closing down, picked it up used for $800, pretty good steal for a 9000 lb lift. hydrolics were all in good shape. (made it by hand  )uh oh....i may be "building a boat in the basement" here....... Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 12-19-2007 at 10:49 AM. |
