Re: 1971 c10 stepside
some small updade !!! back on post #559 i started the mounting of my air tanks and some of you pm me asking what about the cross rails for bed , i will post some pix of what i had in mind , i have two ideas on how to raise my floor but im still undecided , what i did was i cut a small piece at each corner of bed to have access to slide and weld the new frame , build a frame around the bottom of the original area where the wood would normally go that way it will serve as the base , the bed will be solid and 4 bolts will be all you to loose to remove the bed in the future , i will use only two braces , one up front and one out back , i reinstalled the bed and it is very solid , squared and now it follows the cab lines straight across , the new base side bars and the rear towards the cab will also now serve me as a pivit point for my floor future plans , some gaps now have to be filled so a lot of work still to to in the bed area
