**67cheby** · 07-03-2013, 10:57 AM

beautiful work !

Zoomin · 07-03-2013, 11:13 AM

That bedside looked like 100 miles of bad road, but you whipped it!

Bennett68C10 · 07-03-2013, 03:13 PM

Great job on the bedsides Mike, I have a stud welder as well but have yet to use it. I will be using it a lot on the rear of my cab.

I quit keeping track of the hours. Keeps my motivation going better not thinking about how much work is still to come and how much time I have into a project.

Thanks Jason! I quit setting dates. I always miss the deadline. I'm hoping to get some paint on it soon. Then Hopefully it will go fast from there.

Still installing upper and lower trim. The RH bed side is from a 68. It had the steps. It also had a roll bar. More Holes to fill.

~Whitey~ · 07-09-2013, 01:58 PM

WOW! You sure have come a long way... Fantastic work on that bed. I bet you're glad to be almost done with that. :-) and your bud's truck (CrashOK) is sick! If I ever do put trim back on my truck it'll be jsut the lower like he did. Anyway... Can't wait to see yours in paint! Keep at it!

STOCKISH · 07-09-2013, 02:24 PM

Great work on the bed side Mike. Keep plugging away man.

big_al_71 · 07-09-2013, 02:49 PM

Thanks Jimmy. It's never ending thing as you know it all too well. I can see light at the end of the tunnel now though.

I'm trying Al. It has been a long time since it began.

Evaded · 07-09-2013, 04:52 PM

Wow just sat here and read it all... great build man. I love all the work you have in it, everything you do is awesome. Cant wait to see it all done.

Eric (Evaded)

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-09-2013, 06:43 PM

Great work! Just keep at it. I finally got mine off the property and under it's own power to a show. It isn't done yet, but at least it runs and moves.

Thanks Ryan. Congrats on the first of many shows.

Looks good! I always wondered about the effect cutting most of that support piece out would have on the structural integrity of the bed. Boxing it in is a great solution.

Bennett68C10 · 07-30-2013, 02:38 PM

Nice job
