You're killing it Josh! Won't be long until you have some ChubTubz to cover up those "skinny" little tires,

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
That's badass man. Good job on that bedfloor. How did you figure out the length for the gas struts that holds up the hinged section? Happen to have a part number?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
You should add a valve and put air struts on there. Then you could flip a switch to raise it. Either way it's badass. Good work

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
I considered using electric actuators but my battery will be relocatea under the bed and I'd hate to get a dead battery and not be able to get at it! Thanks man, I'm happy with how it's turning out

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
I'll install one of those flush mount boat latches that flip up and use it as a pull.
