Hell Ya Thanks Nobby.

I am working on getting the bed floor finished before Goodguys, so I will update the build in the next few days.

Thanks again for the kind words - I love that stance and style on this truck to. It really is a lot of fun to drive as well. When I get it out on the freeway crusiing 60+ if just hugs the road. The bags make a big difference for sure.

Finally getting around to covering up Picacho's good looking rear suspension! I've actually been a fan of keeping things open -I like to show off the pretty powder coated Porterbuilt components, but it's time to cover things up!




I wanted something a little different, so I went with concrete form material. I originally was going to just go with 2 pieces and split the bed, but went with 3 and divided it up accordingly. I used a few of the original strips too!



The rear diff hole will be covered with an access door. Once I get it back form painter I will update.

Not to be out done by "Picacho", "Grandpa Joe" got some new threads too!


I love these old saddle seat covers. I can't remember riding in a truck as a kid that didn't have one - Good times!

Nice truck and seat cover. I can't find any seat covers similar on the net (saddleman). Any leads? Thanks!

That is a different look with concrete board.

I was definitely going for different! I am liking how it turned out so far. I am going to have painter friend clear the wood with a semi-flat. I'm thinking it will darken it a little too. Maybe i should say enhance it a bit

We'll see - I will take a few pics.
