Thanks Jason! I quit setting dates. I always miss the deadline. I'm hoping to get some paint on it soon. Then Hopefully it will go fast from there.

Still installing upper and lower trim. The RH bed side is from a 68. It had the steps. It also had a roll bar. More Holes to fill.

Thanks Jimmy. It's never ending thing as you know it all too well. I can see light at the end of the tunnel now though.

Wow just sat here and read it all... great build man. I love all the work you have in it, everything you do is awesome. Cant wait to see it all done.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-09-2013, 06:43 PM

Great work! Just keep at it. I finally got mine off the property and under it's own power to a show. It isn't done yet, but at least it runs and moves.

Thanks Ryan. Congrats on the first of many shows.

**FL71C10** · 07-30-2013, 02:34 PM

Looks good! I always wondered about the effect cutting most of that support piece out would have on the structural integrity of the bed. Boxing it in is a great solution.

Bennett68C10 · 07-30-2013, 02:38 PM

Nice job

Thanks, I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of support for what I plan on hauling in this truck.

Thanks Ryan. The bed floor looks better in the pics than it really is. I fixed about 20 rust thru holes and straightened over 100 dents.

Actually, I quit using the tig along time ago. It just took too long. But when I did I ran it pretty cool probably in the 40-50 amp range.

It may not look like much but these updates take me a bunch of hours to get done. I spent way too long on the bed floor and tubs. I hope they turn out good, they were super rough.
