Si, knock the heads off the carriage bolts, then weld them into the top plate. That'll allow me to unbolt from the braces if I ever need to remove the bed.

Great fab work... Subscribed!

*Shane* · 04-06-2007, 09:51 PM

'bout time ...

XXL · 04-07-2007, 10:32 AM

License plate pocket. I wanted it to be as tight as possible around the license, rather than the typical squared-corner. It's pretty shallow, and will have a high-brightness white LED on the top to cover the required lighting.

BigSky71 · 04-08-2007, 01:08 AM

Very nice work! Now that I am in the reassembly stage your picts make me miss the metal work stage.

Keep 'it coming!

XXL · 04-08-2007, 01:13 PM

A few more pics. Still having lots of trouble getting these back corners right. While it'd be nice to do a huge roll on them, it's not completely feasible because of the taillight mounting requirements. So I'm trying to get some major curvature on the corner area to mimic the like corner of the step fender. Time for the sandbag and mallet

XXL · 04-08-2007, 01:15 PM

This shows a rough representation of the taillights location. Since they're so low (as is the license box), it's not a simple matter to just roll the bottom edge around.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-08-2007, 02:02 PM

If you had an extra set of rear fenders, you could cut the corners off of them and use to make the edge.

Agreed. Fenders or cab corners...

XXL · 04-21-2007, 01:08 AM

mini-progress... got the corners rounded out a bit more to my liking. I suppose I could pontificate this forever. Or... bust out the Bondo

It's not as truck related as stanchions.... but I give him an A for still frequently using that public school education

.

XXL, the lines look to be identical to the fender corners which makes a huge difference. Nice vision as always!

Frizzle Fry · 04-08-2007, 02:21 PM

Rob.

Are you stuck on having them that low? I think they look good there or centered. Either way. Nice work as usual

I could move the lights up, but the plate really won't fit anywhere else and still look right. If I moved the lights up, I could do a long bend up on the sides of the tail end, but I don't want it looking like this...

Frizzle Fry · 04-08-2007, 03:07 PM

No, you definitely don't...

XXL · 04-21-2007, 01:10 AM

a few more

jay-dawg · 04-21-2007, 01:21 AM

looks better mang!

Frizzle Fry · 04-21-2007, 03:40 PM

Much better

fourty1 · 04-21-2007, 03:52 PM

what I'd like to do:

The top edge of bed side/ ends will have chrome cap found on 57 chevs.( kindof looking like fins from the side.
* each end of side bed will look like a fin treatment found on the 57's,
i should have added a roll pan to my illustration.

XXL · 04-26-2007, 11:18 PM

and...

Note: The camera trickery is driving me nuts. It is NOT as flat as these pics makes it look.

*72CSTC5* · 04-27-2007, 01:03 AM

It is taking shape. Looking good. Put some mud on it.
