Thanks Jimbo! your truck is coming along nicely too. We will have to get a board meetup together.



So I started grafting the front of the bed back together....I can't lie it is a little scary, trying to get a good seam but not burning holes in the sheet metal takes some practice. I must toot my own horn for a second though and asay that I feel like I'm not doing to bad. Before this truck, I had never done sheet metal work on automobiles. I have welded and fabricated many things together but so far sheet metal work is the hardest for me. Kudos to you journeyman body guys!





Another shout out for Rockrln's short bed conversion, the tip about using a small flathead screwdriver to even up the surfaces is fantastic!

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
