I think I can speak up and say that the tires are Toyo Proxes S/T ii's.

I'll let n2billet fill in the rest.

Got a dumb question...These "speedholes" or dimples you guys speak of....is it a "look" thing or do they have a purpose??

They can add support/rigidity to larger pieces of flat sheet metal & w/less material, there's less weight. On these trucks, it's usually just for the 'look'.

These were added for strength, I cut the bottom of the panel off so it needed something to make it rigid again.

I'm a 1/4 off the air fitting, I made spacers that sit on the notch in case the floor tries to bow under pressure from weight (if I ever haul anything).

Hhmm.... There used to be a 'finished' gas filler in the bed floor & now I just see an empty hole. Care to elaborate on WTF happened there?

Very cool, I like the raised bed floor, I like the gas cap, and I really like the speedholes. Seeing all this nice progress makes me want to take another look at my truck.;)

I've had a jug of CLR sitting in the garage waiting for a year.......no clear coat, I'll just keep wiping it down to minimize the rust.
