Thanks man. I found the clip on craigslist for rediculously cheap about 5 miles from my house.
The 521 was about 5 miles in the other direction LOL

Got some more work done today...

Worked on getting the right side mounted. The left side was removed(un-bolted from the locking hub) for reinforcement like what you see in these right side pics.

Nowherre near done yet but at least the bed side isn't going to collapse under its own weight.

Is there a reason you are mounting your bed in this fashion?

Also what seat is that from in the right hand side of the last picture.

To have the looks of a stock truck but with the ease of access of a flatbed. Lots of cool stuff coming soon!

So an update finally....

painted the engine bay and misc front end metal


scuffed and painted the wheelwells







Worked 95% of the fender bender damage out of the LF fender. Just needs a skim coat of some polyester finishing putty.



one of the next projects:


And just some general shots of the truck... have plenty of minor bodywork spots to touch up...





Getting some wheels and 33's for it tomorrow night.
