Re: '59 4x4 Build
Found some more pics of work I did last month. I cut out a damaged edge on the tailgate and found some thin wall tubing that was perfect for the repair. The right side welds were broken away from the panel too, so welded those. Also replaced bottom flange of front bed panel.
The wood arrived for the bed, so I set that up in the bedsides and cross supports, measured and drilled the holes for the bed bolts. Marked with a pencil through the bed support hole onto the wood to locate the bolts, then after drilling, traced the offset washers on top with the square over the hole.
I tried using dark Tung oil, but didn't like the color, so experimented and found sanding it down after applying, then using Teak oil, gave me the finish I was looking for. I don't think I took any pics of it finished, so that will have to wait till I'm actually installing them.
