Well I hope so. I still have some issues to deal with on the tailgate but hopefully it won't be bad. I have to come up with $ for my taillights then I can start working on the backend of the bed.

As an update I tore the turn signal cam and wire out to get a new one and that was all I could do in 110* shop last night.

It's been oppressive here as well! If my bud's shop wasn't air conditioned I wouldn't touch my truck until Fall!

I applaud you getting anything done in that kind of heat!

shortbed70 · 07-14-2011, 02:53 PM

I have to try to have this thing mobile by September.

No problem brotha,now if only this heat would just stop for a bit we could actually get the rest of the wiring knocked out.Along w/ everything else lol

shortbed70 · 07-18-2011, 04:12 PM

As soon as those tails show up I don't care if it's 120 I will put them in. I also just scored another $50 so there's another something for the truck!!

shortbed70 · 07-21-2011, 11:13 PM

Fianlly for the picture lovers that actually follow my build...New taillights fitted and tacked in place. I got the lenses and template off ebay and had to come up with a light so I made a bucket to hold a light behind the lense and bingo...Flush taillights on a budget... Total cost; $65.00 And the last pic is me and some how Mark (baggedout81) caught me blinking...

baggedout81 · 07-22-2011, 12:03 PM

Another step closer

Also he forgot to mention.Made a relief cut from the bottom of the roll pan up where the license plate goes an pulled it out an tacked it.Got rid of the bow in the middle

shortbed70 · 07-22-2011, 01:19 PM

Oh yea I forgot that. It was bowed on the bed prior and so I made a cut in the license plate box to bring it back out like it was supposed to be! Shouldve bought new but didn't want to spend money on something to cut it up, lesson learned..
