wish I had the know how to do stuff like that...I mean I can cut and bend sheet metal...hell I can even weld it together, but never tried my hand at bead rolling. looks really good and clean, can't wait to see what you do with the firewall and see it all painted and pretty

FnLow69 · 12-03-2013, 02:51 AM

FnLow69 · 02-20-2014, 12:42 AM

Well I've been working on the bed for a little bit now, Got the damaged fixed in the rolled part at the rear. Started on the rear bed mounts this last weekend. Next up is the front bed mount and custom front panel support, And lastly I'll be making a new tailgate. Then I'll get into the major reworking of the rear fenders.

Here are the bed tops before.

During

And done with stake pocket holes filled

Here's what I came up with for rear bed mounts

ready to be welded to the bed

More to come hopefully this weekend ill start on the front mount.

I wish my brain worked the way yours does. Love how you approach mods and repairs. I'm a bit confused as to how your bed mounts work?

Good thing we have this internet thing. I can now steal ideas from guys like you!

67ChevyRedneck · 02-20-2014, 02:44 PM

I can't wait to see that bed after the fenders have been modified to match the front!

chevyrestoguy · 02-21-2014, 12:23 AM

I really like the rear bed mounts. Nicely done!!

Maybe a picture from further out? Just not sure how/where the mount the bed.
No bigs I'm sure it'll become clear farther along.

FnLow69 · 02-22-2014, 03:29 AM

Here's a picture of both of them there at the rear most corners of the bed.

Justin

Flames97 · 02-23-2014, 01:17 AM

Nice ride, are you interested in selling the old frame. I have a 53 that's begging for it. Why did you decide to build a new one. Thanks

FnLow69 · 05-14-2015, 10:54 PM

Thanks TGP! haven't been on here in a while, the old frame is long gone sorry. I built a new one because the old one needed work to get it where I wanted it to be in the end and I figured it would be faster to start from scratch, Plus I like a challenge .
