Re: New bed cover

I think with the white roof it ties in even better very innovative, and nice work dude.

do you have a build thread? I'd love to see more of your truck. What color green is that? it's almost exactly what I want as my accent color.

sorry, should've been more specific on my part...i was actually referring to the edges & how it fits flush down into the bed instead of lipping over...i like how yours fits inside the bed, which is why i ask....once again, nice work!

Oh Sorry man, I just tig welded some 1" x1" aluminum angle around the inside of the bed and screwed in with #8 x 3/4 screws. I guess I should learn to make build treads. Sorry.
Here's some photos I took today for ya

I never did a Tread when i built this truck.....but I have some posted on my Facebook.
Its not a Great truck....Just an Ol' skool build just the way I would have built it back in the 60's.....No drop springs and all that stuff....just clean and simple
