More progress over the past few days. I can't get my camper on with the bed being so wide. I'm pretty sure it was originally for a dually truck. The camper jacks aren't wide enough to fit over the bed... so... I decided to cut 5" off each side to narrow the bed up a little. I don't have a plasma cutter or anything fancy like that, so I gave the old grinder a workout. It took about three hours, but the bed is now 10" narrower!

I also used one of my low budget resto techniques on my dashboard badge. The silver sharpy never lets me down when touching up faded lettering haha.
