|  Cheby Tow Rig
Well guys with the NRCTPA worlds coming up I have been working on my race clods and pulling trucks like crazy. Last year they had some magazine coverage of alot of trucks that were there and my dream has always been to get a little something into a magazine (even though I have tried readers rides numerous times:-( ) So I am hoping that the this Tow vehicle with Trekker combo will do it, and I am bringing my sand rail to as alot of people want to see it... well I have had this trailer for a while now, got it from BD and its time to use it... Onto the pics...   The rail doesnt fit but the Trekker kinda does (enough to look cool) Sooooo of course I needed a Tow rig to do this. Well I won this clod body off ebay a few years back (after missing it on there the 1st time) I paid an arm and a leg for it but it was one of those "I have to have this". It has molded flares, custom chevy cowl induction hood, extended bed to fit bruiser wheel base and a REAL bed   Its probably one of the sickest clod bodies out there IMO  I recently over the summer bought a Bruiser off of a local guy for 250.00 bucks, stripped it down and had everything powdercoated in a black textured coating (looks like its under coated ) and I just finally am getting it together now. I bought the stuff to build a hitch off the back as well so I can tow the Trekker.Here is the progress so far. Almost done, just need bearings for the rear hubs. Then its onto the hitch     Thanks for looking later Mike Last edited by 1BadJeepBruiser; 09-12-2006 at 04:44 PM. |

I've seen pics of tha body before and it was on a bruiser chassis. Have you ever had it mounted up or might those have been the previous owners? Doesn't matter, awesome body and an inspiration. I have a clod body on the way. Do you happen to know, or can you tell, what the trim pieces are made from? I'm considering going super-scale with mine. The only idea I've come up with for the trim so far has been black and silver painted zipties, which is probably pretty lame.

Definately the best looking clod body I've seen. Looks a lot like a Scottsdale, too.

You build some fantastic rigs. If they dont put you in readers rides they are insane... or stuck on nitro.
