Re: 68 project

I've run a set of headmans on my truck for many years. Never had any trouble. Good thick flanges. I think you'll like the thorleys. Glad you have the bed together. Only a few more bolts to put it on the frame. Lol.

I like Hedman's also but the price difference between those and the Thorley's with ceramic coating wasn't much different so I decided to try out these, my first set.

Still have all the bolts to install the tubs yet, plus the tailgate has to be mounted yet. I do have all the bed mounting bolts drilled and ready to install.

Lookin' GR8! The wood floor looks amazing with the black trim, and the tubs look like they came that way. You're making some awesome progress.

Re: 68 project

Thanks guys, I am ready to ride it so I am trying to be persistent on finding time to work on it. The bed is a big plus to getting closer it was a big chunk of work to get it to this point. I am going to try to finish up the other tub and the gate this week so the bed will be officially 100% finished.

Re: 68 project

Was able to go by the shop last night and started work on the gate, hopefully can finish it up by the end of the week. Ordered my tail light harness I want to get the bed 100% and then I will move onto the cab and finish it up.

Me too but I really wanted something that fit the theme of the truck better. You need a tag for yours ?
