So it's been a while since I posted on here. Since that time, I have finished my bed, and have put it back on the truck, and it looks great!

that bed looks awesome man, fabrication is a skill not many people have and that looks sweet.

is the plan to restore the whole truck or to make it decent enough to drive?

Thanks guys! Its my first vehicle I have ever worked, and my first major fabrication experience and it wasn't easy!

StreetPerformer: My plans are kinda mixed, I want to drive it, but I also kinda want a First Gen 4x4 also, so I'm not 100% sure what i want to put my money into..

So I started college this week and I have a Auto Body class that I am taking and pretty much we can just bring in what ever we want and fix it up. So I decided I am gonna start with my driver side fender.



Here is the passenger side fender, not as bad as the driver side.
