starting my build thread (2 years into it)

Sorry for the blurry pics!

started with a "used" but straight 71 long bed
drove it for a few months, lowered it and put some 16" centerlines on it.



started some body work...

Wow, very cool!

I don't think you're supposed to stick your sport bike into the dryer, it appears to have shrunk a lot?

Re: starting my build thread (2 years into it)

the color is leaning towards a two tone silver and charcoal. or silver and "champagne" or tan.... very unsure but almost certain on a two tone with silver

Re: starting my build thread (2 years into it)

wow. amazing work. getting prepared to do the same to mine real soon. quick questions. how tall did it end up(if the frame under the cab is on the ground, how far up is the bottom of the frame above the axle from the ground)? and how did you mount the bed in the back (near the tailgate)?
