Yea, but then you ad a line in the center. I like it this way myself.

Also I really like the body line on the the bed. It looks like it's probably what they originally intended to look like, the body line on the cab following through on the bed. Then some other designer wanted the add places to tie loads down. Nice work. I like it.


thanks ron :D

The guy that has been doing ALOT of the work (Greg) said as soon as we sat the bed back on.."Oh no, that shit has to go. Get the death wheel" :lol:

Still waiting on a windshield. The glass guy cracked the original in 2 places cutting it down. A few phone calls later and another coworker (Walter) located a new windshield, and bought it and paid to have it shipped to the glass guy for another shot. :D

Don't get me wrong. I love it the way it is. I just have always thought about putting a barn door on a pickup. Call me weird.

The bedsides look terrific. Reminds me of an old slabsided Dodge.

Work picked up a bit. So all i have been able to do is work on the tailgate some.

Frenched the plate, made a patch and started the filler plate.

Wow, now that is creativity! Looks awesome. I really like the way you closed in the sides. Can't wait to see the finished project.

total of 12". went from a 6 foot bed to a 5 foot bed :lol: had to also cut about 6" of the rear frame........if i had to do it again i may have only went 10" or even 8". I have ran into a few issues with the rear shackles and the stock "rollpan".

before anyone says something about my slightly crooked circles. I cut them out with a jigsaw b/c I didnt feel like tearing down the setup on the mill to set up a fly cutter.

bed and tailgate is finally ready for paint.

Looked @ 4 different hardware stores for a stupid little spring loaded slide latch, Got aggravated and made one.

The bed is cool but everytime I look at it it screams Ranger to me.

It DOES remind you of a Ranger, but a LUV connoisseur can easily pick out the details :wink: :lol:

YA!!!

After months of grinding 2" out of a new windshield, the guy came today and installed it and the back glass. Side glass is still lexan but with the way they curve I dont really see another (cheap) option.

pics later, waiting on my buddie to post them to my facebook.
