i got all the door weather striping in and the carpet somewhat in. tomarow im going to spray a last coat of primer on the bed and them spray paint on the bed on wednesday

got the bed painted today !! but this websight wont lem me upload any pics

I had the same trouble with pics. If you have HP image zone or some like that change the image size to make it smaller and that will make the file size smaller also. I had to many pixels so that made the file size to big to download.

Nice truck!

Hey man, here are those pics. We have state testing this week so I forgot about it yesterday, sorry man! Wicked truck, lovethe color, too!!!!
:metal::metal::metal::metal:

Nice truck looks real good
I just read threw this whole build how long did it take you from start to what u have now?

bcbasketball11, hey thanks alot.

showss12, i got the truck the summer right after 8th grade, and now im just finishing up my senior year in high school, so about 4 years

wow! I'm impressed!!! gotta get my sons a couple of trucks to get started on, they are 8 and 12, hope they will be as far along as you are when they reach their senior year! keep up the good work!!

NO problem man!! that's what this board is all about :metal:

your build is really inspiring it makes me want to go out and start working on my truck right now

Hows about installing that latch for your tailgate behind the bedpost(right where you installed it the first time but inside it) then cut a square out in that post so you can push the button, but you wont be able to see the hardware at all.
