Flatbed Tubebed build

[Jay'94]

I'm going to make my main bars (that run parallel with the body) out of 2 x 4 x 3/16, and the connecting bars that go to the frame out of 2 x 2 x 3/16...I know it's more weight than the Hrew tubing ya'll are using, but we got the tubing so cheap it was almost free

Yeah, free for you. Easy on that 2x4, that's my new rear bumper!

I know need bigger tires now . Was going to get some but bought the complete Pro-launch control arm kit from baseline suspension for the cobra. It relocates the uca's and got arb to. Are you going to mess with the SVO anymore ?

Here's a poser shot .

Thanks , I daily drive it about 50% of the time and wheel it about once a month and love it.

I got some 16ga for the sides and will be working on it again this winter. But for now here are a few recent pics.

Also added a full width 78/79 dana 44 to the front awhile back.
