Modern Truck bed for a 47-54 GMC/Chevy

[_Ogre]

this thread is from 09 but it brings up good fabrication points
all these trucks have the same basic bed with different levels of fabrication applied to them

these trucks blended the old cab and fenders into the newer bed. both fabrications well thought out and executed.





this red truck blended the newer bed into the stock steps. nicely executed fabrication



this truck the fabricator blended the newer bed into into the body lines of the old truck, again well executed fabrication



now this truck? the owner plopped the new bed behind the old cab with no thought to blending the styles.
no real fabrication or thought involved in this build, the body lines don't come close.



same basic bed in three different levels of execution.
4 well thought out and one well let's just say no thought. 4 well fabricated, one plopped on
classic examples of ''what if'', some carried out to a nice design and one not so designed
while they may not fit your tastes or thoughts on what a classic truck should look like, i can appreciate the work/fabrication done on most of these.
