Hank, you have my truck's long lost twin.

It is mine. That rocker panel look familiar Bob?

Here is the link. Amazing, that's what you end with after 6 hours of shooting. Valvoline TV Spot, '150 Years' It does look good though.

Hey Pablo I'm still around and still have the pig. Zornff on Mud was the previous owner with the original "Fresh Pig" thread, so I thought the new title was appropriate. Haven't been working on it much lately, just trying to drive it and enjoy it. Thanks

Code 278 covers both colors, at least at my local paint shop. The white is a little creamy, and the blue is very smurf like.

The rear springs should have a +, 0, or - painted on them. The + would go on the drivers side, - would go on the passenger side. If you have a 0 it goes on the passenger side if the other spring is +, or the drivers side if the other spring is -. Hope that makes sense.

Any interest in a nice 55? https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/773583-re-freshed-pig.html

:beer:Delancy and Tucker both were correct. It wasn't in terrible shape when I got it, but as soon as I started sanding I knew I was in way over my head. With my buddy Gary getting me going in the right direction it turned out pretty well though. Thanks for the compliments Bob. Cheers

Here is a finished shot of the driver side rear quarter panel, didn't get the corner itself in there very well. Also, some shots of the passenger side rocker panel.

Here are more from the drivers side, and some from the passenger side as well.

I guess I owe two of you guys high fives for finding different threads. Here are some photos of the driver side rear corner and wheel lip. Keep in mind I am not a pro body guy, but I think they turned out pretty well in the end. More to follow.

I don't live in Fresno. Let's just say this pig has a past here on mud.

Thanks guys, I will post up some more pics when I get a chance. Bob, I think i got the very first set of rockers you started making. Thanks for those. It has a 2f with about 20k miles on it. Only real mod is the HZJ75 springs. Oh yeah, and FJ60 power steering.

Hey everybody, Just wanted to share some pics of my pig. I bought it a few years ago with the intent to drive it and use it as a camping rig. Well, I started messing around with the little bit of rust starting to bubble up from below the paint the problem was, there was not a good place to...

You could just build your own rear corners. :)
