Thanks Tom I am feeling a lot better. I can't wait to get this bed mounted but will have to wait until the weekend.

Thanks Jason, yeah they are really nice and won't need much work at all to get into paint.

I just had to wallow out some of the mounting holes to line up with the bed sides. Other than that it fit perfectly. I have to say I'm really impressed with the aftermarket bed.

Really, it's just my getaway in the winter.

This is my first frame off resto and I didn't realize it would take this much time and energy to do, so I'm really soured on it. All I want to do is drive this truck, so much so all I want to do now is primer the rest of the gray panels black and put it together and drive it. In the future I will save up to buy a better starting foundation before jumping into it.
