Re: "Road Toad" 70 SWB S/Side

Sorry guys it has been a while since I posted.

We have rebuilt about everything and the painting is done.
The bed went together today, and we will mount it this week and put on the fenders, steps, and tailgate. I post again then.

Take it from me, a metal bed is not near as pretty as a wood bed, this thing is beautiful and the pictures can not do it justice. I wish I had all my trucks done in wood.

We used a polished stainless kit with polished stainless strips.
I Raptored the wheel well bed side, and the bed tops are filled.

We put blue tape on the bed to keep from scratching it, so if it does not look too shiney on top and around the edges, it is protected.

The wood was epoxy encapsulated after all holes were drilled, the final finished in clear urethane.
