Thanks Chad, hey have you had any luck finding parts and pieces for your fleet side bed?

CC69Rat · 02-16-2014, 07:52 PM

I am meeting a forum member friend of mine on Sat 2/22 to get my wood floor cross sills, trunions, hinges, tail light stuff etc. All I need now is bumper brackets and splash shields (behind the rear tires) and I'll have the completed bed for mock up.

Let me know what you still need and I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I think all I need is front and rear bumpers (rear brackets). If I can't find some really nice ones I'll probably get some from GMCPauls or somewhere like that.

The little things can be troublesome and get overlooked easily. I went to put my park light lenses in the grill, of course I didn't have the right screws. So started putting headlights in, of course one of the retaining rings had two of the tabs broke off. I couldn't find the latch that bolts to the hood (already painted and ready to install) On the bright side the elec. fans worked good and got some of the bed painted....

Looks great Jason, sorry the little things are giving you trouble. You will get them worked out.

mcbassin · 02-17-2014, 11:34 PM

Looks great from where I'm sitting. I'm not looking forward to all the little frustrations of final assembly, but when I'm to that point I'll be a happy camper.

jlsanborn · 02-18-2014, 12:22 AM

Looking great! Love this build dude

Thanks Keith, I've only been able to work on it every other Saturday, so I try to plan everything out. But everybody knows how plans workout!! It's coming along ok. Did you check out my wheels and tires in my last pic?

Thanks Mike, this is an exciting stage of a build, every little thing seems like it makes a big improvement now.

Thanks Keith, I owe it to Scott D. for the buddy buckets. I was very fortunate to buy them from him.

I'm fortunate too, that you bought them. You helped me big time when you bought them. I'm really glad you like them.

jeh · 02-22-2014, 08:00 PM

Not much going on this weekend, getting the bedsides nice and straight for some black paint....

jeh · 03-01-2014, 01:30 PM

Another weekend update, got both bedsides and tailgate sprayed this morning. My buddy will let them cure a couple days then wet sand and buff. Hopefully all the paint work is done now. I'll post some pics in a little while.

jeh · 03-01-2014, 02:33 PM

Pics from the body shop this morning.

**screaminchevypickup** · 03-01-2014, 02:35 PM
