Not a clue Ige, a friend sent me the pic as he was driving home. I'll ask him where it was.
It struck him as a bit too shiny not to be hiding something.

That's basically what I'm looking for aside from the paint scheme

Didn't notice it was sprung over. Saw that it was clean. I'd have to undo the spring over back to original. MA sucks.

Well, I was going to fly into Rockford, but I changed it to Peoria, so I won't get very close to it. John

(847) 683-xxxx is the prefix for Hampshire, IL. Plato Center is just west of Elgin, IL - the middle of corn country

Might be worth a ride up on a nice day to take a look.
I have no use for another pig, especially one that needs a paint job

Yep...it's getting picked up this friday. Hopefully sliders will be on it within the next 2 weeks. I have a new Superwinch in a box which will go on quickly too. Exhaust will be re-routed the day after it arrives. The interior of this truck is shockingly clean! Very happy!

Just got a call and it's being picked up tomorrow nite so might have it by Saturday! Dying to find out the original paint code.
I'll be leaning on you guys for some help with Pig stuff. I've owned one before for a short time. This one should stick around...

Congrats.
Looks like a nice rig.I hope you like posting pics. 
Are you going to keep it as it sits or do you have plans for a wheeler?

Sliders, new exhaust routing, rear bumper and corner guards, then paint at some point after I scratch the hell out of it. Not much wheeling up here so will be wheeled maybe 2-3x per year. Not gonna go crazy

What is the best exhaust routing for the tailpipe to reduce the blowback into the back window but still have some wheeling clearance? Guessing just behind the rear tire but figured I'd ask.
Scheduling 2x4 sliders with FoxFab in Rhode Island. He does good stuff.
Looks like now I won't have it for about a week from today. Soon Ralph, soon.

Congrats!!! Piggies are pretty neat trucks and there certainly aren't that many in the northeast.

pretty much no good place. behind the rear tire is better than out the back, but you still get blow back when rear window is open.

Either way that side pipe exit has to go. Can picture my kid getting burned on it getting into the truck.

I'll likely start a new thread when it gets here. Not sure it'll be very interesting but I like documenting things as I go. Not planning on selling it anytime soon btu if I do then I have pics of what was done, timelines, etc.
I'll try to make it interesting. I do have a couple odd things planned for it.
