Test fit the bed

Bed is in epoxy and is being bodyworked

marked and cut holes for leds and cut back skin out to do flush skin with flipped handle and led access. Also new bed bolts came in so we can bolt it down and shim to line up with cab for bodywork

reinforcing doors since they are so flimsy at the top and then we had to cut out a brace for one piece windows so it got even worse. Also worked half a day shimming and adjusting panels to get everything close before bodywork. Now working on welding and grinding door edges and jambs to get the gaps perfect.
