Here is the bed in its new temporary home untill the frame is nice and pretty.

I found this marking on the front of the bed "780X" dont know what it means but that's kind of cool finding stuff like that, all the firewall markings are long gone thanks to multiple crappy paint jobs.

Here is the frame, not too bad looking. Also my stash of body parts hiding against the wall. The frame had a nasty trailer hitch welded on the rear that was made out of .375 strap plate. It was cut off a few years ago. I had to cut a little off the bottom flange of the frame due to the disgusting stick weld installation but I plan on welding a piece of rectangle tube at the rear to protect my gas tank anyways. There is also a real nice dimple under the rear of the cab that looks like some boob used a bottle jack with a 1" head to lift the truck so that will have to be pressed back out.

Also have to weld the rest of the cab corner that I could not reach with the bed on.
