Building a new fleetside bed from nothing has been extremely expensive and has gobbled up every dime of my truck money this year and it's still not done yet.
I have been unable to sell the Stainless Steel Stepside brake light assemblies and brackets I purchased before I changed directions on my build, I could really use that money to put towards more fleetside bed parts.
I want to complete the bed and have it painted before it is installed.
I'm sitting here shaking my head, it's very frustrating.
I know how you feel, sometimes I think what and where would I be if I only fixed the thing needed to drive the truck safely. But on the other hand I am sure I made the right decision on tearing it down. Like the gas tank I pulled out of my truck. I worked putting it in the truck and worked pulling it out. But now I don't have to worry about the gas neck and that expence. But Brian I understand where you are coming from. I wish I could afford the lights from you. But money is tight everywhere not just in your pocket. You know about all the changes I done after I made a decision to do something. Fixed and re fixed the same thing to make it better.
