I'm with you on the Rain X. What are "ww's"? windshield wipers?

Why not put the keg off to one side so its easier to fill?

Love the scallops on the hood!

Long ago I had a keg gas tank in a truck.
Got pulled over by a cop that thought he had caught some kid with beer.
It took him about 15 minutes to charge me with something.
He gave me a ticket for no mud flaps.

Hey looks great. And i am a great lover of beer and beer paraphernalia, I make my own, and use 2 kegs just like that one in the process.

but between the beer keg in the back and the Pabst shifter handle, you might as well have in 6" fluorescent letters across the endgate:
HEY COPPERS!!
PULL ME OVER
IN A CHECKSTOP!!
at least in MY town.

lol down here they either love it cus they think it looks cool or they say "you drink that crap" the best part is when im filling up, people give some crazy looks,,,,,,,

peep mirrors are awsome just take a lil bit to figure out where to put em so you can see

Nice, Johnny.

Your truck looks good, maybe I should rattle-bomb my '65 & just be done with it.

The hoos scallops look perfect on it.

that's pretty cool. your black primer turned out lots better than mine did... I spent over $200 on all the crap and spent all summer workin on it just to have it spooge out of the gun and look like hell.

You guys can do what you like with your kegs, I know what they're for................

blackagatha · Post by **blackagatha** » March 25, 2008, 5:59 pm

oh yeah, I just remembered, If I was to do such a thing, I would probably use some stuff called Alumiweld, available at Harbor Freight Tools. I havent used the stuff, but I bet it might have better long term results than JB weld, as much as I like JB.

May work for the old kegs, but not for the new stainless ones.
