Update.
Got the bed bolted bolted together and tight. Installed wheel tubs,bed support spacers. (Not sure what's gonna happen for a bed floor, but the bed is secure)

Also installed bed side struts and reverse lights. I also rolled the truck of my cement pad to clean the pad off...I ended up rinsing both off with the hose.

I must have washed this truck out several different times this last weekend. Next is lowering it, installing fresh cab bushings, then Cardinal front fenders and chrome 1962 grill and new chrome bumpers.

Rear is lowered. 5" CPP springs. The rear lower spring hardware is not fun. If you know...you KNOW!
