Hey Flip, I hate that you couldnt find a good bedside. It took me over a year to find my bed. The work you did on the bedside turned out nice and straight. It looks very good to me. I have one of those flaring tools from harbor freight also. I have the one that also punches holes out for your welds. That saved me alot of time not having to drill all the holes in the rocker panel where it has to be welded on at. Great work, keep the pics coming.

That bedside turned out nice

flips72 · 03-17-2011, 09:33 PM

well the bedside is finally coming along,here is some pics after it has been roughed in and primed, now time for lots of blocking.

flips72 · 03-17-2011, 09:34 PM

one more

allaboutchevelles · 03-17-2011, 10:03 PM

bed panels are looking very slick. I wish i was that far along with mine. Keep up the good work!!

flips72 · 03-28-2011, 08:57 PM

here is a few more pictures of my super slow progress. got bed sides mocked up, had to move lower bedside braces because of using the long bed patch panel. the mounting point is diffrent even though i took the three inches out of the center. so far i have guide coated the sides twice, but ikeep finding small things that annoy me, puttied a couple more spots and hopefully final primer and one more guide coat, then paint, yahoo!!!!

allaboutchevelles · 03-29-2011, 03:58 PM

Wow, that bed looks awesome to me!! Want to finish mine for me?? Im slower than you, im still working on my cab floors, supports, rockers, and cab corner. I cant wait to get all that done and get my bed to your current state. Great job, keep pics coming.

Alan's Classic · 03-29-2011, 04:44 PM

Lookin' great!!

flips72 · 03-29-2011, 09:11 PM

thanks guys, just inpatient i guess sure do miss driving it. mocked up tailgate so i can get a idea whats instore on it. done a little blocking its not to bad, it has a high spot on upper right and low spot on upper left bottom looks pretty good. here is afew pics last one kinda blurry but you can get a idea of what it looks like.

flips72 · 04-09-2011, 10:48 PM

well i got tired of body work so i tried some wood working, here is a few pics of my bed wood ,sanded, stained with a honey oak stain, then three coats of automotive clear, color sanded, three more coats, color sanded again, three more coats. now i need to sand and buff and i believe it will be ok. let me know what you think.

flips72 · 04-09-2011, 10:55 PM

a couple more, the close up looks kinda gray in the pictures must be the lighting in my shop or else the flash of the camera. thinking about putting the bed back together for the rod run in pigeon forge tn next weekend, my buddys got a 70 bronco and he is wanting me to follow him up. need more parts anyway maybe i can save on shipping charges.

allaboutchevelles · 04-10-2011, 07:09 PM

floor boards are looking very good. You should have seen all the stuff at charlotte sat. You really need all 4 days to look at everything down there. I bought a new radiator support for my truck. I wish I could go to the rod run your talking about but its too far away for me this time.

flips72 · 04-10-2011, 08:28 PM

we had every intention to go to charlotte, just got our dates wrong. oh well i got my wood in now i just need a couple or three volunteers to help set it back on, who wants to come to tennessee and give me a hand, here is a few pics.

allaboutchevelles · 04-10-2011, 08:37 PM

Ill come help you sit your bed back on if I can drop my bed off for you to fix!! That wood looks killer in there!!, what color are you going back with??

flips72 · 04-10-2011, 08:49 PM

thanks alot, i am going back with the orange/red color thats on it now, my better half is pushing for black but i would definetly have to get alan involved for that. alans classic that is. oh yeah bring the bed on down we will set mine on and get started on yours.

Alan's Classic · 04-10-2011, 09:54 PM
