I worked yesterday on removing the bed. It is amazing how so few bolts can take up so much time. I thought I had them all removed but I could not get the bed to come off. So, either I have missed some more bolts or maybe the bed sills are rusted to the frame. Not real sure.

Ive got a transmount, motor mounts, and a step notch kit enroute. I am going to make another attempt at getting the bed off on Sunday.

I keep day dreaming about some c-57 coys, 17x7's and 17 or 18x8's. I probably should stick with the original plan of running the cutlass wheels for now.

I will probably photoshop them on the truck to fuel the fire.

I received my step notch, and motor mounts yesterday. I have a couple other things that should be here in 7-10 days. When they arrive, there will be pics.

Thanks. I am pretty pleased with them. They are 17x7's and 18x8's. I need to save up for some tires now lol.

My neighbor came over while I was working a few weeks back and homed in on two bolts I had missed. I took care of those and then we lifted off the bed and put it in the backyard on saw horses.

I am getting tires today, pics later. I am going to try and make some progress this weekend while it is cooler than 112 and maybe hit up a car show at Coits.

Thanks as always to Scott for the pestering, I mean, motivating me to keep working. There has been many times I have lost interest for one reason or another and he has kept me on track. He is also really good at finding every single driving AD truck in the OKC metro and sending me pics of them on the road lol.

Looks like some really nice wheels! Good progress. Hangin there and you'll be in one of those local trucks driving around.

I was about to convert my crew cab to the 06 hood and grill but came to my senses and decided to put that effort into this truck instead.

My battery was too low to use flash, so this is the best I could do.

Re: AD Truck Project
 
Yeah that looks nice! You got the right amount of rubber on there, they fit the truck very well. How about a daytime pic with them on the truck :truck:
