Ok I understand what you are asking. I welded the bolts that mount the bed to the frame. I welded the bolt heads to the stock floor then I built the false floor above the stock bed floor. So when I put the bed on the frame i just put the washer and the nut on and you are done.

Once I get the engine tunned I was planning on putting up a video of the truck doing a big old burn out.

Lee is a good guy with a super sick truck. I was in the process of buying his truck when my family needed some help so I backed out and decided to build a truck similar to his. He is a good builder and was most likly trying to show me a pic of his truck to show me what I missed. No big deal. Hope all is well for Lee still love the truck.

**superflysteiny** · 05-16-2011, 11:14 AM

Her are some update pics. I will have the truck running in the next 2 days

Whoa! Had no idea that Vintage Air HVAC unit took up the whole glove box. No room for gloves now.

I love that satin steering column. Beauty!

only place for it if you dont want it hanging down below the dash. As far as the steering column goes it will be painted red to match the rest of the interior
