Here is the bed done, all I have to do and tighten all the bolts but I'm thinking of holding off until the exhaust is done. I really am at a stopping point so the next pictures I post should be of the motor in and the truck driving. I am conserding pulling the crossember out and pancaking it for a little more ground clearnce at ride hight, we'll see. Untill than, some pics!

Like I said, "you work fast". Got me on pins and needles for when you are done driving and start the rebuild. Sweet Ride!

If the motor is out, I highly recommend (if you're considering it) to go for it now....
With the drivetrain out of the way, it's just 14 bolts & a weekends labor (w/a dirty x-member). Last one I did I started on Sat morning & had it tacked up for welding by 6pm Sat night. Prob could of had it welded up by 6pm Sat night but it took hours to clean the road-grime/grease build-up off all surfaces for quality welds.

I agree, I'm going to make the decision when I get the truck in the new shop. Room, time, weather!
Again, thanks for the comments!!

Hopefully ur getting some work done haha... I've barely gotten anything done lately. I check this page daily. Ur def doing a great job and have some really good ideas that I hope u don't mind if I use. you and Coulter have some skills and looking at both of your build threads I have come up with a plan for my truck. I have a ton of questions hopefully u can answer....like.... What size and length bolts are you using on your trailing arms for the drop blocks and rear end. What size length bolts are you using for mounting yor bags. I just got my set of dominator 2600 bags not sure what you r using. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hoping to get this thread back to the front with some progress pics soon!!

We are back!!! Going back and looking at the thread I didn't realize it has been six months since I worked on the truck!! In that time we moved, added on to the shop, Maggie got a full time job (after graduation) and we got engaged!! Its been a busy six months to say the least!! Mean while Dino finishes one truck and almost done with another! Bomb, Jmorales3181, and coulter have been rocking and rolling on there projects almost passing us by!!
I have many pictures on the latest mods so tell me when to stop!!
Someone suggested I add gusset to the sway bar links!! Done!
