Wow, Orrie and mr48chev~ you guys are my hero's! I hate to sound like a dummy, but what is the aluminum angle for?
I feel like I'd like the sheet of plywood to cover the opening of the bed, not the entire bed. you know, like the sheet would be the same level as the bed rails where it's recessed to the same level as the rails? I know it wouldn't be waterproof to keep water from seeping/making its way down the edges, I just think it would look better. If it were to rain, I could cover the entire truck, but leaves this time of year are horrible!
I have this other thought, that when our grand-daughter rides with us, and we make it to a car show/get together, I like it that she can play in the bed of the truck(of course she wouldn't be back of the truck when we're driving!), perhaps even have some sort of liner on the bed itself to avoid scratches on the wood/rails, etc.. The top would have to be removable too. Unfortunately, we don't get to see our precious 5 y/o, soon to be 6
as often as we'd like since they live a couple hours away, but when she is here~ Spoil city!
I wish someone could post the inside view of the bed of their truck and how it's supported and hinged.
To make the 2" raised radius pieces, how do I do that? It like a big circle, but just part of the circle~ I don't know what I'm trying to say! argh! I can do this, just need to lose more sleep! lol
