Re: My 86 build
...getting the bed finished up....sectioned an inch out of the rear of the bedfloor and welded it back up so the tailgate would close, drilled the rest of the bolt holes and bolted the bed down, shaved the bolt heads off and welded up the holes, and welded up all the other little holes in the bed floor. still need to make a longer filler panel for the bottom rear of the bed, and remove some of the temporary braces that I had welded on, then I'll be able to lift it on and off again in one peice...
