Re: 1960 Apache K10 build
Pretty standard stuff here. For now, I just ripped a sheet of plywood down, used the dimensions from the internet, gave it a quick sand and seal, and called it good. A million carriage bolts later, this was the bed result. I did mess up the dimensions for behind the stake pockets, so this will have to be something I fix eventually, but for now, it works. I did not receive the bolts for bolting the bed to the frame in the kit, and there was supposed to be a spacer for the rear of the bed, which I did not receive either, but I just made one that fit and moved along.
to lift the bed, I used my engine hoist and the cab lifter 9000. I just used some poly rope in the stake pockets and it lifted it all up no problem. it was a bit heavier in the front than the rear, but i just used a ratchet strap to balance it out and it worked okay.
