Re: My 1959 GMC patina fleetside project

I agree, a very very nice job so far. Nothing cookie cutter about your build.

Hey, just a thought because of your bed floor raising mockup photo. I’ve always wondered why guys don’t use some of the space created below the bed floor as additional storage? Seems like yours would have significant room on either side of the driveshaft not to mention a hinged (or hydraulic?!) partial floor would make all the nice work you’ve done on the rear suspension visible. Anyway, just a fun suggestion.
