Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev

After many hours and many changes, this is what the rear end of my truck looks like! I want to exit the exhaust out the rear bumper, exhaust is one of the next projects

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev

Wow that reshaped rear end looks really good. It all has a nice flow to it. I dig the reshaped rear bumper. The fitment on that hitch is sweet. It disappears.

Thanks
Marc

Here is a pic of the gas filler lid I built. I don’t really like a filler in the bed but it was the simplist solution. I thought if it had to be in the bed I wanted something different than ones I’d seen before

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev

I haven’t been on here in a while but I did actually get my truck done (well almost), and have put about 7k miles on it already. I built a matching teardrop trailer that I pull behind it

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev

The tailights are aftermarket 37 ford led lights. Yes, I welded them into the stake pockets. I made the entire box, including the stake pockets from scratch. The trailer is just a cargo trailer, not a camper. I use it to haul my tools to work so I get to use my truck most days in summer!

Re: Got it one piece at a time... 51 chev

nice job on the metalworking and box build. I like the flat topped sides compared to the angled ones, thats just me though.
you got skills for sure. got another project in mind?
