Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Looks good.....I also used an automotive clear to seal the stained bed wood on my old 48 truck. It held up great for years.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Great work on the metal work on the bed and the wood for the floor Bam! Where did you source the hidden fastener strips? I got some from a place and they were no Bueno.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I hear ya Bam. I just spent a whack of time and effort getting my truck box modified for the new use, raised the floor etc. etc. I am pretty sure in my case I COULD have built a new one quicker. lol. spent lots of time fixing and figuring out how to incorporate all the stuff I wanted to have. that's probably the problem right there actually. but next time...….
yours looks great though. nice to be down to the last coat of primer isn't it? |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I also decided to make a center console. I will have it upholstered to match the seat.
