Very well done!

Those weld free hood hinge brackets are slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Thanks, I haven't heard that in a long time,

I'm having another set cut out of stainless next week.

Xeen · 08-07-2015, 10:09 PM

I wonder if those brackets will draw unwanted attention to themselves being stainless, maybe some speed holes would make them look a little better because right now they are kind of big and wide so it seems like it might be better if they sort of blended into the hood.
Out of curiosity how much adjustability is there with those hood hinges, I can't help but wonder if the added thickness of the custom bracket is going to be a problem or not.

I agree on the shiny part, just thought I would give people another option. As far as the thickness, my brackets are the same thickness as the weld on brackets that they replace,

**Hart_Rod** · 08-30-2015, 08:26 PM

Finally some serious progress, the bed is finally painted!!!

**Palf70Step** · 08-30-2015, 09:07 PM

Very nice!

69short · 08-30-2015, 09:07 PM

That looks great Rob. How are you mounting the bed to the frame? Did you just build "risers" or were you able to use the original supports and then just built the raised floor above it

TexasLS1 · 08-30-2015, 10:09 PM

I love this color, it looks simply amazing. Fantastic work.

**nlped** · 08-30-2015, 10:18 PM

Looks Killer Rob. Of course I love the color

67ChevyRedneck · 08-30-2015, 10:48 PM

Wohooooooo! If I didn't love blue so much my truck would be that color.

I used two pieces of 3x3" squared tubing to build the front mounts and used the factory mount/crossmember in the rear. Then I used 1x1" square tubing to build a complete raised frame around the perimeter of the bed and across the middle for the wood to bolt to. If I would have had a steel bed, I would probably have built some risers.
