So how much of a pain was it to do the wood yourself?

It was a pain but a great feeling of accomplishment!! Maybe a 7 on a 10 scale. Some difficult cuts with a saber saw and tons of measuring around the inner fenders was the worst part. It has a small gap where it would touch paint so hopefully I don't have a lot of sqweeky sounds..

Slick67 · 07-31-2012, 09:57 AM

This was the probably the hardest cut. I used a saber saw (on the ground) to make the cuts. First I cut out the complete area at 0* then I tilted the blade at a 45* and cut the ends. It worked out well with minimal sanding and filing.The four corner peices I cut the 45* then cut them to length so the main cut for fitment was 0* and much easier.

I got a little help from Christy and finally got the bed fitted and installed to make sure all was right.

Lookin good man! I just looked back at the last page and checked out the bed wood and rally's. Also thought it was funny that you and I have something else in common. My wife's name (providing that was your wife) is Christy too! LOL! Kinda gave me a flashback!

Thank you WW70! The rims had to grow on me but the wood bed was a hit as soon as I put the first peice of wood down!

Your truck turned out really nice. Original-71 told me about you so i spent some time reading from the beginning to the end. It looks like it was long road but worth it. The rallys look sick. I would love to see it in person one day.
