Re: Big Bird - 1972 Longhorn K30

Well today was another busy day. The main shop had room so I thought now would be a good time to get the flatbed sectioned down. I started off marking out the areas that needed to be cut. My measurements for outside of tire to outside of tire is 81.5". By taking out the outside boards that brings it in from 94.5" to 87.5". I don't want to much over hanger of the bed width wise so hopefully that will work out. This way I will have some room to go if I want to put on a little wider rear tires. I started off by cutting out the corners. Then cut the back off. Once I got rear section separated from the remaining wood pieces I was off to cutting and sectioning the bed length wise. I was in a groove so I missed a lot of pictures. Meanwhile a buddy swung by and helped me get the seat in the truck. I got the be cut and put the extra section outside to save for possible future rust repairs.
