Re: my radical 60 build
here's another shot of how the bed was cut down:
I took the horizontal sections out of the top and side, then I cut 15" off the back of the top. I cut 15" off the front of the bottom piece, and then slid it forward, and then put the cap back on the upper rear.
The rear cross sill was retained, and I just used 1 cross brace up towards the front on some of the pontiac body mounts. On the back, I got even more use out of the cab mounts that I cut down for the front- I used the angled scraps to create the rear mount.
the gas tank is out of the pontiac wagon, I fabbed up a brace to hold it to on the frame, since on the wagon , it was held to the rear floor. I used a big tubing cutter-no sparks around the tank!-, and cut the filler neck down to fit it inside the bed.
