Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock

I took the inspiration you all gave me from this website and embarked on raising my bed floor up 3-3/4" to be able to route fuel filler hose and vent hose better and out of the bed floor. So enter a 1987 square body longbed donor bed, rust free, and many, many cutting wheels later. I'm still not 100% done, but close enough to post up what I did. I followed Robber Grins idea to raise the bed sills up, thank you! And then started measuring and cutting, and more cutting.

Nice job. The 87 wheel tubs bolted to your 60-66 bed with no issues?

They directly bolt to the bed floor and I drilled four holes into my inner bedside to bolt them to the bed sides. When I find two more 80's wheel tubs I'll cut them up and weld them to these wheel tubs and fill the new gap behind them where they are 3-3/4" taller.
