69 C-30 Flatbed Build (just the bed)
Built this bed three years ago on my daily driver. It is entirely bolt together. Broke many drill bits, cursed a lot and drilled about a bazillion holes. I'll post more pics of the processes.
I know it's not a polished show piece but it is strictly utility. Last edited by Richard2112; 04-08-2020 at 06:51 PM. |
