Re: 1968 C40 to K40 pickup project BlueMule
So, back to the BlueMule. I got it into the garage, and picked up a couple of truck beds from Facebook Marketplace. First one looked nice, but ended up having a lot of bondo. Since I was going to be doing a lot of cutting and welding on it, I wanted to find one with better metal. The 2nd was a little rough, but mostly where I was going to be cutting material out, and it had Zero bondo on it.
I pulled the wood off of the flat bed, which was rotted, and sold the bed frame. I then placed the pickup bed on the frame and lined it up over the axle and put some temporary spacers under it to line it up to the cab lines. I didn't mount it solid since I hadn't decided on the frame shortening method yet.
