Worked on it today. Got the bed sides mounted.

Now he just needs to find the screws for the tail lights to mount them, finish the bed floor with aluminum diamond plate, brace the tops of the bed sides to keep from flopping and it will be done.

looks good. Buddy did the same thing with the bed except with fiberglass bedsides.

Thanks.....I just wish he would finish it. He needs to because he's moving to Michigan in a few weeks.

you should probably just tell him to give it to you, that way he wont have to move with it

I was just talking to him yesterday about that. He might just leave it here and let me finish it. Then he will come back a pick it up.

My brother is finally finishing the bed...

Notice his fuel tank...lol he is looking for a fuel cell or something that will fit under the bed behind the axle.

He has a new steering box to get rid of the push pull thing. Chevy 63" leaf springs to put in the rear. Will be starting the leaf swap in a few weeks.

How's that tank held in there? Looks like it will just slide around.

There is a strap that holds it in place.

My brother has a new job as a painter/fabricator. So he has full access to whatever he needs.
He has parts ordered to finally finish this.
So soon we will be doing the IFS steering box swap, 63" leaf swap, and finish repairing the frame.
