Re: 1961 Crew Max
Some progress. Unbolted the rear frame rails and started over. They were pretty beat up and bent. Used 4x3 3/16" and welded to the notches. We then fit the fuel tank at the back and kept some room in the front to mount two 5 gallon air tanks. Also using the viair compressor mounts 0ne on each side. The boss got the bed blasted and we did some mock up with it and overall not bad. The drivers side tail light panel will need to be replaced and maybe the rear stake pocket. Some minor patching and some hammer and dolly and it should be pretty good. Next will be making a new inner bed structure to support the raised floor. Thanks CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
That looks sweet! I really like your tank and nice choice to redo that rear frame. It looks so much nicer and will be way stronger too.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
That looks great having the box back on. Are the air tanks going to be showing when the bed gets put in?

Re: 1961 Crew Max
More progress on the bed. Started building the raised bed with original crossmembers. Also used a rear bed crossmember and welded it at the end by the tailgate so the wood will sit like factory. Next we will cut the rear wheel tubs down and shorten them. Got another hood and pre fit it. Overall not bad. Thanks chizzler.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
On a sad note. Got the 40 fired up and had a major fuel leak from one of the three carb's and had a engine fire. Figured it was easier to pull the motor/trans to fix wiring and clean everything. Luckily I was able to get the fire out fairly quick and it didn't do any major damage to anything else. You can see how hot it got by the smoke ring on the wheel and the tranny seal let go. The trans had been making a weird noise so it's a good time to have it looked at. Chizzler
