This is the bed assembled. perfectly squared and front panel DP epoxied and bolted in for good. The rear crossmember is also bolted, welded and epoxied.
I modified the tailgate with parts from s chevy colorado. I modified the tailgate to accept the half circle part that makes it so you can remove the tailgate without taking the hinges off. ( like the newer trucks). Added Mar-k stainless straps and latches. Filled the holes in the gate where the chains were before.
