Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thanks guys!!

A bit further with the front end.
I took the lip out of the steeringbox and made it flat, I like it much better this way...
This is how I did it:









Next I made some plates to get some strenght at the front end above the IFS





The plates are straight and the framerails are "bent". First I was thinking to fill the gap between the plates and the framerails with some metal strips, but I managed to get the plates bent towards the frame with some C-clamps.
I like this better.





The plates are now tacked in, run out of time, so finish welding have to wait....
All is going pretty well, if I may say so
