So I first started by drilling very small holes in the seams every 12" then welding each hole, hopefully this will stop any bed flex and then we filled the seams with 3m panel bond to finish the seam.........

Went ahead and welded the back seams

I would think it should work and alot less pita than welding! This same thought crossed my mind but my bedsides were kinda beat up anyway and needed Q'rs put on.. Looking nice btw...

Found these wheels......... I really want these wheels for my truck. One problem though they don't make them 5 on 5 anymore, so after a week on the phone trying to get Cragar to make this wheel for me they finally may be able too......I should know within the next week.

Used tires are 215/60x15 front and 265/75x16 on the rear. I want to put the biggest size on the back I can get. I have lots of room with the 73 fenders. And I'll go a little bigger on the front when I get new tires.

198plus 11-05-2011 10:06 PM
Re: 198Plus build
 
Thanks......They are 15x7 235/60/15 front and 15x8 back 255/60/15. I'm probably going to put the 255's on the front rims and maybe some 275's or 315's on the back if they will clear.

I think 255/60 on the front will be to big if your going to slam it. :uhmk:

Well I had a change in plans with the color of my truck, I'm going black with the prowler orange on the trim and interior. These pics are with three coats of DC 4000 clear with no buffing. Now we will wet sand and then add three mores coats of clear.........

Very nice. Why not paint the bed with the front part on? I did mine the same way. Now I'm wondering how to put it together with out messing up the paint on the front bed bolts?

198plus 12-10-2011 11:52 AM
Re: 198Plus build
 
Thanks....It makes it easier to wet sand front and inside bed panels, plus I'm using stainless steel bolts in the front panel.

I guess I'll be using stainless too. I knew you had it all figured out.
