HAHA! Yeah, for about half a second. This is a project that I started around August. With all my other stuff, TDYs, school, and general partying, there's really no way. No matter how much I would be able to get for them. Thanks for the props though.

Oh ya know.. working.. enjoying the weather.

Wishing if it was going to be this cold it would atleast snow.

Yeah need a frame for my 82 since it is cracked in multiple places. I like my Jeep but I still need a truck and I miss the V8 rumble.

MrBeast · 12-19-2008, 02:46 PM

Man that is a sharp truck, I really dig it. Nice work, I will give it an A+

trenchwarfare · 12-20-2008, 02:35 AM

I like the box a lot, but the door panels are better. Now i've to many ideas. I might install normal diamond plate on my doors, black, painted, or even engine turning.

*78 Chevyrado* · 12-20-2008, 03:27 AM

That box is AWESOME! I love the idea of fiberglassing the tape right on the back of the cab! no wasted space! GREAT job!

midnite · 11-08-2009, 02:33 AM

hey man any installed pics? and will your seat go all the way back?

grinch4om · 11-08-2009, 09:22 AM

I often wondered about bondo smoothing out these boxes...does it ever crack? most boxes flex somewhat.....but this is so cool! I love seeing inovative attempts and when they succeed...yayy!!!

midnite · 11-08-2009, 05:20 PM

i was kinda thinking the same thing but if it doesn't fall off a vehicle when it flexes from temp changes or gravel roads then it should last imo

sdime95 · 11-08-2009, 05:49 PM

good work i wish i was brave enough to try fiber glass

1985-GMC · 11-08-2009, 05:50 PM

You could always use marine bondo, Its designed to flex with fiberglass.

fat60 · 06-29-2012, 06:50 AM

Do you have any installed pics. Looks good. I'm gonna attempt the same on my 90 3+3

So you just put the fiberglass on the tape?
Did it just come out after you finished fiberglassing on the tape?
Can you give us some tips on how you did it?
