Thanks guys. I hope to make a build thread once I get some parts rolling in and start working on it on a regular basis. A buddy should be buying my model a body tomorrow so progress should be picking up real soon.

Here is a pic when I brought it home, before taking 17 inches out of the frame.

SWEET LOOKIN' TRUCK OLD SOUL. Can I get a picture of the bed sides from back end? I'm building a the same truck except it will be a scraper instead of a worker. Been thinking about have bed sides built instead of welding 2 together to get 11'-6" bed sides.

Not sure if this helps but this is what I have.

That is perfect OLD SOUL, thank you. I was even wondering what the bed would look like if the top edge was bent at 45 degrees instead of 90. Think I will do mine at 90 now but THANK YOU again.

There is still a lot of finishing to do on the bed. This was done when I got the truck and I wish they would've bent them at a 90 for a more factory like look.
