it all looks pretty good but you gotta do something about the tail lights. Sorry but the stockers mounted on their side look like crap.

you could get some of those side mounted truck boxes under the bed rail between the cab and rear wheel...that would be cool...

nice work on the bed , but I agree with Robb .. get rid of the stocker tail lamps and put in some new oval LED's .. also .. you need to fill the spot between the tail lamp , and the bottom of the bed .. like a mudflap or something ?? I'd also but some sort of top edging on it ..

I think it looks good, to bad you didn't use the bottom of the sides for storage boxes or maybe you can and just leave the space above the tires open just a thought.

something like this maybe and use the top as the lids

Thanks for the ideas. I was planning on doing side boxes for some extra storage in front of the tires, something like this I like the open wheel area so I dont want to box it in to much and I dont want it to look like a contractor's truck. As far as the tail lights it was the cheapest and quickest way to get it on the road for now,Down the road I will change things around.I got the bed spray lined and the frame painted also. It looks alot better with everything black
