Re: 1948 Chev extended cab with attitude

It's been a busy weekend.

I finished boxing the back of the frame.



I got the new rear sill and installed it. I raised the floor 2 inches



I made my own mounts for the rear sill, so the factory ones were removed and used as front bed mounts.



Behind the right rear tire I cut an access hole to reach the fuel connections.



I got the upper rolls welded on the bed.



There is a factory gap at the top of the stake pocket.





It had to go away.



And then I added a teardrop end cap



The front stake pockets are just squared off from the factory, so that had to be remedied also.



The curve at the front of the bed continued into the rolls at the edges.





Back to the shop and continue weldin and grindin.
