box coming together nicely...

smbrouss70 · 10-30-2018, 05:58 PM

WOW! Looks great. I wouldn't even want to put a cooler and a weekend bag in that bed!

CHROMAHOLIC · 10-30-2018, 07:40 PM

lol, thanks....me neither

CHROMAHOLIC · 12-16-2018, 06:49 AM

working on a few different things..... polishing the bed, air ride is plumbed/ AC is in

**Warrens69GMC** · 12-16-2018, 11:24 AM

Nice!

CHROMAHOLIC · 12-25-2018, 08:34 AM

bed is starting to come together

blazer2007 · 12-25-2018, 10:46 AM

how are the bed strips attached ? Thinking of doing bed strips on my blazer with carpet like the old station wagons

**Warrens69GMC** · 12-25-2018, 12:19 PM

my guess is the same hold downs as the side trim on the 73-79

Sweet sassy molassy, I was hoping that the bed wouldn't just be a flat piece of steel. The strips really pull it together!

CHROMAHOLIC · 12-26-2018, 04:54 AM

actually we formed each stainless bed strip to fit the floor perfectly after final bodywork and before we painted the truck and then re-tweaked after paint and polish. Then we just attached them to the floor using 3M two sided tape which is super strong. We had talked about drilling and tapping them but we didn't want to see all the fasteners under the truck. so this was the cleanest way of mounting. The cool thing with the strips is that they are made out of stainless so they will never need to be polished. Thanks for the compliments guys...

buddy of mine owns a truck polishing business, so we thought we'd take the brushed finish cab mouldings to a mirror finish....turned out killer. Another friend Anodizes so it's of to him next so I never have to polish it again, then mask and put the Yellowish color back in

That looks great! This is one fine piece of art

solidaxel · 01-04-2019, 02:16 PM

Is the pic with the 50 after the anodizing was complete?

CHROMAHOLIC · 01-04-2019, 07:49 PM

thanks guys...no we have not re-anodized yet, thinking about trying something different now. I'll let you know what we end up doing

CHROMAHOLIC · 01-11-2019, 11:04 PM

that's better

Very nice! Did you anodize it or something different?

CHROMAHOLIC · 01-12-2019, 05:40 AM

thanks guys....not CAT yellow, it's a GM color, we haven't anodized it and probably wont. We don't want to lose the mirror finish on it so we have a different product we got from a professional polisher which rubs on and dries like a clear coat..I'll let you know how it works

SBTork · 01-14-2019, 03:16 PM

Very very awesome! Beyond next level stuff man!

CHROMAHOLIC · 01-14-2019, 07:42 PM

thank you

CHROMAHOLIC · 01-15-2019, 09:35 PM

turned out better than I could of imagined...

kipps · 01-15-2019, 09:40 PM

Are you using a front bed panel, or are you doing without? I'm just surprised you didn't install it when you mounted the bed floor.
