Photos of new wood bed & gas tank install
was able to get a new wood bed and gas tank installed with some help from family over the holidays, wanted to share some before/after pics.
The beginning (PO had relocated gas tank to bed, and that's 47yr old wood I believe).  Bed off  Trying to snap rusted bed bolts off  Cutting bolts off  More cutting  My job was primarily stripping and refinishing the old bed rails    Cut the rear out to accommodate the new gas tank  Test fit  Mounted tank and welded in new rear metal  Remounting all the stuff the bed attaches to  And the final results   Still need to touch up the wood a bit in sports and reapply more water sealant. Next up will be finishing the bed sides with some sort of Rhino Lining or paint. Was a fun project but hopefully one I won't have to repeat for a while haha. Need to replace the shocks but that might have to wait until summer. |

Re: Photos of new wood bed & gas tank install
This truck is on a '73+ K series frame, that's why it looks a little different.
