Thanks coulter!

Ok, so I've been staying busy. I made all the supports for the bed and welded then on. We mounted the bed and got it to sit exactly where we wanted it. We also mounted the rear bumper and tacked on the bumper supports. I still have no clue what bumper this came off of. I'm thinking its a 70s C10 bumper but whatever it is it fits the truck really well. It took me awhile to cut off all the crap the PO tried to weld. These welds were horrible, I have no idea how this bumper didn't fall off.
Here's the old brackets


Another shot, this type of stuff scares me


Here's the bumper mounted, fits the truck well I think


Here's another shot


Tonight I'm going to finish welding up the bumper brackets, I cut off most of the crap the PO welded together and re-welded everything to make it safe. Then I need to bolt up the front bumper and make sure it fits nicely. Once that is complete we are going to tear the truck back apart so I can paint the frame with POR 15. Once that is complete then we can finish the few spots of body work left and start blocking everything out so I can finally paint this damn thing!
