thanx again man!! i hope to see our trucks together at a show in texas sometime next year
and here is some updates.. i got the hinges done and mounted.. looks like its gonna work just like i wanted. hopefully by the end of the week i will have everything complete
here are the deminsions for you murph. it would be very easy to make the same thing out of some flat stock or somtihg.. i just wanted mine to look all spiffy for some reason
you can see here how it slides forward away from the front of the bed
as you can see it will let the boards move to where ever it needs to without binding up.. i can lift it to just about vertical too!!!!!
next step is to paint the hinges, link all the boards and strips together and find out how im gonna mount the gas shocks to hold it open like i did on the hood!
