For some reason I can't post any more pictures...here's a video of bed progress, assembled the Longhorn fleetsides, wheel tubs and front on extended metal floor. Plenty of body work to do now...

Are you getting a "security Token" message when you try to post pictures?

Yes, and when I try to report it, it gives me an error?

I recommend ''Chevy Six Cylinder Power Manual'' by Leo Sanducci. It's in a 2nd edition, now. Lots of L6 tricks.

Expensive little sucker (the book)...did finally find one I could afford...read it cover to cover. Cool interesting facts with some real ingenuity. Seemed like most of it was for drag racing, I like your torque monster build and will probably just copy that. I haven't torn mine apart yet, it did "run" when I got it, but I do see paint has preferentially peeled around cylinder 5 and hoping it's not some sort of major problem...lot to do before I get there though.

That means that your pictures are too big. You need to size them down. I usually size them down to 1150 pixels wide and the board software will take care of them from there.....

Well, I got the bed together, not a body man but spent some time on it and did my best, painted yesterday, still some ripples, drips, runs, dry spots...but it's better then before. Rebuilt the front Dana 60, it's under the frame now, tomorrow putting 4.10:1 gears and trac loc in the rear (first time for that too)...hoping to have a rolling chassis soon :-).

Wow. You're right. I could not find it on Amazon at all. Some copies available on eBay. $22 for a First Edition with the red cover. More money for the 2nd Edition, which I have not read. Prices ranging from mid-twenties to $225.82 for a 1st Edition. No idea why that one's so special. Most copies in the $30s for a new book.
I had no idea it was so expensive...

Finished putting gears in the DANA 60 rearend, rebuilt the brakes, buttoned up the rear assembly and installed under frame. Now I have a rolling chassis again!
Then wet sanded and buffed the bed paint, sprayed in Herculiner bed liner, and started putting on the side molding...with a twist. My side trim was all mangled, and they don't make new molding for a longhorn (that I found anyway), regardless it was going to be very expensive, so decided to do the molding in custom vinyl (stickers).

Finished one side, see video below if interested.
