Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

So breakfast turned into leftovers for lunch and I gathered the courage to use JB-Weld to fill in the screw holes.

Thought that the mirror base perimeter marks were actually cut through the paint, so I sanded the whole area.

...I was wrong.

Think I'll pick this up again tomorrow and go from there.

BTW, when I first bought this truck, the bed was nothing more than some slivers of wood still attached to some severely rusted and chewed up carbon steel bed strips.

So rather than spend some $$$ on a bed wood kit, I cut a 3/4" sheet of marine plywood to fit and added some polished strips on the top.

Turned out plenty strong and eliminated the need for those metal cross supports, which made a seriously light rear end even lighter...

...ZOOM!

Wonder what's for dinner.
