Mia (my 8 year old) helped finish up the bed Sunday!
Truck sits lower now (more weight in the bed- half the original wood was missing!) Mia also installed new rear air shocks (as shown 80 psi) but I think Im gonna buy taller rear springs and go from a 3" rear drop to a 2 " rear drop and run less air in the shocks daily... Have new fender emblems and a red sticker on the sail panels to add a splash of red color!
Now I need to redo all the electrical, new cab bushings and dynamat, redo the tailgate, and freshen up the dash!:smoke:

Very nice work. I am about to redo my bed and keep going back and forth between clear and black for the wood. Also doing in reverse order. Doing gauge and electrical 1st.

Think factory was black. Much easier for a driven truck....show truck look good with the stained (clear) wood. I am gonna put a camper on it and enjoy the summer!:lol:

Fresno has a shop (classic chevy) that has a 2 in drop spring. Im going to place my camper on this bed and see what I get first....If it sags too low I think I'll buy some other springs.
