Re: Project: Blank Slate
One quick update to make.... my wife got me out of bed early Saturday morning and said, "Let's go cut the bed mat I bought you for your b-day (about 4 months ago...)." So we got everything together and headed out to the storage shed.
Now, one might ask, why would go out to the storage shed when your truck is in the garage. Well... because I have a dismantled SWB in storage and we used the floor to make for a sure fit. Here's a few pics of the progress and the final result (sorry there not the greatest): After we ensure the liner was straight, it was time to use a silver sharpie to make the lines for the cuts, and then make the final cut. After trimming the excess off and around the fender wells, we brought the liner back to the house to cut out the stake pockets. All in all, the liner turned out great, and will help protect the floor when we fill in up in two weeks. ![]()

Thanks buddy! I know I'm fortunate because she not only puts up with the hobby, but also the board.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
My wife and I took advantage of the nice weather today to jump in the truck and go for a ride. On the way back we stopped by a local college campus and took a few shots of the truck. Here's a few of the better shots we captured, enjoy!

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Looking great!
![]() BTW - I scored two sets of wheels last night, it was dark and late by the time I got home - but, one was a full set of rally's reported to be 15x9's... from a Blazer? Hoping to get the ratty tires off, clean and paint... Not sure if I'll use any of them, but I couldn't beat the price - nearly free! The second set is some old "Appliance" brand, "springers" - 80's wanna-be's ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Saw Nate's truck this weekend and it is just as nice as in the pics. This thing is crazy nice with the perfect stance.
Had a great time at the show Nate thanks for all the work you and Doug put into the members area.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Well boy's... on my 16,000th post I had to come back to the project build thread I've loved creating so much.
Here's to the board and all the members that I've been fortunate enough to meet. This place truly is a family. Below is a quick shot from the "family reunion" this past weekend at the Midwest All Truck Nat's. The shot was featured in an online article completed by our very own Revoh. I was fortunate enough to come home with 3rd place with my truck. Hopefully after posting a little more work (and updates in this thread), I will be able to increase my odds... ![]() Thanks again to all the members of this site, you guy's are the best!
