those are cool! if i could get my hands on those i would run 'em.

 

ok. sanded down the rough spots, threw(spelled right?) some paint on it for effect, and set it on the truck to make sure i cut the bed correctly for the shock tower. the reason its only half painted is cause im 2 toning it dark bronze and black (like the front fenders and hood in the background).

and with the bed on.

 

niceeee

 

Not my taste but I appreciate good, creative fab work!

:wabbit2:

 

Very unique and creative! I like it!
can't wait to see it finished!

 

Not crazy about the design, but I like the creativity. If you caged the back half I think it would look killer, maybe something that went from the top of the cab then slope down to the tailgate height. Just my 2 cents

 

thanks for the cookies guys. im leaning towards the cage deal myself, however that will be in due time since money is short and i need to prepare for the engine swap first. i should have everything painted up and spiffy within the week.

 

Very creative.....I have similar ideas with mine, just wanting to be different than everyone else

 

Dude, that is looking flippin' fantastic. I saw the bed a couple days ago and loved it, now I see dark bronze and black? Nice! Reminds me a lot of the look of my first car ('78 El Camino black/gold Conquista!)

I need to do a shock tower, I like your thinking.

What are you doing for tabs on the axle?

 

for the axle i am going to use these cause i like how they curve out to almost match the angle im mounting the shocks.

any progress?

 

not at this time, i had to go to pheonix, az to take care of a small job. i will get some more goin quickly.

 

i wouldnt built one, but im digging that you did, looks pretty sweet

 

decided to throw on some body parts to get a better look at what i have done(and dont mind the old school light bar, i was just bored).

 

I like it... when you get one color on it, some wheels and tires, and some armor, it's gonna look sweet.

 

This is awesome. I love the bed, and in my opinion I like the roll bar better on the truck!

 

Reminds me of an RC car body for some reason. Not that that's a bad thing.

 

did a little work on the tail light housing.




and i want you guys to meet my friend.... MR. PORT-A-BAND. love this guy!

 

I've just recently discovered the porta-band saw... i friggin love those things.
