Normally I would NEVER comment on another man's wood, lol but well done. Those boards will turn out very nice.

Glad to see I'm not the only 18 year old spending my time and money on these trucks haha, you just have a better starting point then me haha. Great work and nice truck.

jpnh · 07-16-2013, 08:33 PM

hey 79 cool truck. how did the old wood/bolts come apart for ya i had to cut most of my bolts too crusty to save m i was able to save one this is what lmc sent to replace them wtf i ended up buying all stainless 1/2 carriage bolts but it was expensive especially when i just paid for the ones i ordered

on the oem wood the offset washers are counter sunk you gonna do that?the lmc washers arent the right size compared to the oem ones they dont give ya the spacers that go in the wood either luckily i was able to save those-jeff

1979cstepside · 07-16-2013, 08:48 PM

im pretty much putting in all new bed parts including all the bolts I got a kit for $80 off LMC and im putting all new wood and all the rails too

1979cstepside · 07-16-2013, 08:50 PM

and for the 8 big bolts that hold down the bed I think im just gonna go get some bolts like that instead of using the ones with the kit
