I think I bought the ugliest pig

[Wayneraintree]

It hit the classifieds on mud so maybe you've seen it?

Anyways, in person, this swine is ultra fine toasty patina

I saw that one.. Every pig has its place and all have a special purpose in the pen!

What are your plans for it?

First off, I am going to see why one of the cylinders on the 305 V8 with quadrajet is not pulling it's weight
: )


Then I am going to drain the tank and blow out the lines and see what happens with fresh fuel.

I did measure the wheelbase to be 108.75", stock is 106.3... and 3 of the 4 38.5 14.50's are holding air irregardless of the dry rot present.

The spare is a near new Q78R15 TSL : )

The good: frame is nice, steering with hydro is done well, SOA looks good and the welds in general look good on the entire rig, no reported rock box problems from the PO, drive angles look good, PTO DS is lengthened and PTO works reliably per the PO (qualifier), beadlocks in good shape (tires not so much), welded rear locker front, 5.29 SM420, 3 speed case = 290? - 1... and the 109" WB are all good things about this rig.

Bad: small pattern knuckle but it looks like they are drilled and tapped to 9/16's studs, included was a bag of 'special' replacement studs said to be an upgrade..... otherwise steering is solid with the hydro done decently, it has a cooler and expanded res.... the 205 V8 carb engine.... lots of options here to replace it including a diesel....warn rear FF kit with drive plates, may be OK with mild driving but hammertown may be too much for this rear....5.29's (lacking too much material in the ring gear)...


..more to come as I have time to dig into this pig.

[PabloCruise]

That makes me cringe everytime I see it Ige!

 

[Megadoomer]

Did the driver survive when they hit that IED?

 

[Wayneraintree]

That is UGLY..... acid rain is becoming a real problem : )

 

[nuclearlemon]

I've never seen an ugly Pig...

 

[fj55tlc]

I agree with Pighead.

The Green Lantern, nice.

 

[Wayneraintree]

LOL it's a classic paint job and overall good trail pig.

I'm back from vaca wed, hope to get on it and get it rolling ASAP.

I got a 9k lb warn coming for the rear, keeping the pto on the front as the DS was lengthened to fit per the extended drivetrain length with the toybox and 420. It's should be crazy slow geared.

Glad you picked this up- looked at it many times.

It was about hour from me- but just couldnt justify another project.

 

[Wayneraintree]

I am picking up a 5.7L chevy engine out of a 92 G van complete from tank to ECM and dash.... should be able to get this piggie rolling on it own power, then trim the rust and safeguard the sheet metal, install the rear winch/gate, then paint and whatever other gremlins arise once its rolling... new life to a veteran pig!

 

[uglyoinker]

I likes it! It's pretty b.a. in my opinion.

 

[Wayneraintree]

OK so my hopes of resolving the title issue in KY is hopeless so this pig is up for sale as parts.

Good frame, bad 305 V8, good factory PTO, good sm420, rockbox, three speed case pto output, soa no c and t, 5.29 gears, front locker, rear welded, warn full floater drive plates, Scout steering hydro assist reservoir, on board air, new field, and other stuff.

2k$

I also have a good 100k mile tbi 350 with everything to run it for 650$

 

[Wayneraintree]

Well I stumbled onto a pig from Sacramento and worked a deal to get it.....

Guess I am going to switch all the goodies off the krusty green pig onto this nice red 77'
