Ryoken's 89 Crew Cab Tubebed build... aka Mutt....

[Stomis]

I see people in my rear view mirror covering their eyes at night when we're sitting at a red light with just 4 of those lights...

 

[Chief Brody]

they will have a sunburn like Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters

 

[Deuling]

Gawd that turned out awesome.


Great work Paul. Is it a bit taller than the old wood bed? Seems it might be harder to load $hit in???

Kinda hard to tell without something next to it for perspective though.

 

[max 02]

Sick Paul!

If you can slow the lights down they will be tits!
The whole rig just looks way better than I even thought it was going to... Can't wait to see it all finished!

Pure coolness! I'm proud to just be here watching it happen!

 

[Fubeca]

It looks awesome - bet it is a nice feeling driving it around

 

[ryoken]

bet it is a nice feeling driving it around

yup, sure is.....

Adam, the coffin floor is about the same height as the old bed was.. but I've also gone 3" suspension higher and 37's over 33's too...

 

[ashman]

Ya know, with that license plate number maybe you should look into using a CAT motor instead of cummins.

 

[Chevy305]

Good point ^^^

The Mutt looks so sinister sitting between those boats. Badass dood [emoji144]

 

[ryoken]

thanks boys....

maybe I'll go custom at some point with Mutt or Ryoken or similar... heck, I spent $175 on a duck, I could probably swing $75 for plates....

[ryoken]

oh... and I may end up chopping the fang and moving the axle back up... it does get into the fender just a tad here and there when flexing thru a turn...



and it's fully legal now, plate light installed...





must have been 10 people come thru the marina today, "who's truck is that?!!!?"

 

[ryoken]

question for the other ancient, more site-attentive types...


has anything OTHER than a wheeling rig EVER won GMOTM?

 

[deadman]

looks and sound stood man.

I got it and don't wheel mine anymore.
You have done an awesome job on it so far, its looking great.
Has to be a great feeling to be driving it again.

Yes...I think they awarded it to my Blazer...which is definately not a wheeling rig...more of a municipal vehicle...patrolling for sharks...

But yours should win GM of the Year IMO

 

[ryoken]

oh, I'm giddy like a schoolgirl ... I missed the mallard sooooo much... thanks mang....

But yours should win GM of the Year IMO

thanks... I wouldn't want it, till it's a bit more complete.. at least the side drawers and front corners...


more just ignorant curiosity on my part than anything else...

That'd be impressive [emoji14]opcorn:

Mutt is really turning out fantastic man. Great work as usual, but your vision of what this would look like at this point turned out to be spot on. You've got a great eye for what is going to look good.

My girlfriend for the most part could care less about all of the projects I look at on here but when I have pics of mutt up on the screen she always wants to come take a look at what you've done. She loves the mutt! I think that says something.

 

[ryoken]

yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That'd be impressive [emoji14]opcorn:

couldn't get it from a standstill.... I'm sure if I neutral drop the pee out it, it will.... did get a nice one slow rolling thru a turn tho....

thanks bud...

it means a bunch to hear nice things about something you've put a bunch of time, effort and cash into... but more importantly, that the brain pic was a good one...


Ryoken - headed out suit shopping.....
