My little mule, Pe'pe

[broncomatt]

As I tear Pe'pe apart I seem to find more things that need attention. After pulling the gas tank and rear shocks I found some rust issues with the tank. Since I never really needed a 32 gallon tank, and since I didn't really want to cut the floor for the tank or the rear shocks I scored a great deal on a WH rear shock hoop. In the pic you will see one shock hoop cover is missing, other than that its the whole kit for more than half off. I will still have to cut the body to install the hoop covers but at least its getting a welded in cover. The boots I used for the shocks did allow water to get in some times. I will be going with a larger than OE tank in a few months. I'm also building a swing out spare tire assembly with parts from a rear Harmar chair lift. Very similar to the bumper mount units on most web sites but this will be inside and allow access to the bed from the tailgate. I know many will ask "why not use a stock swing away holder"? Which I do have one, I really don't like them on the out side and I also prefer the look that I already have. Stay tuned for pics of that.
