How about some before and after shots of your rides ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RainFade · 12-18-2004, 12:37 PM

As a newbie I see where your various rides are at today but thought it might be inspirational to see pictures in the same post of them before you started and as they sit today or as they were when you got rid of them to move on to another project. Maybe some in between shots on the really major makeovers too ?

Dang demi that is sharp, who's bed wood kit did you use on that if I may ask ?

demi · 12-18-2004, 06:45 PM

Thanks RainFade - A friend of mine, who is a cabinet maker, cut and grooved the planks. The bare steel strips were bought locally here in Az along with the bolts.
This was a very low cost bed.
