I figured I needed to take a break from fiberglass for a while and start block sanding the filler on the bed. It’s been 4 1/2 years since I applied the filler. I think it’s dry by now
I got most of the filler on the outside knocked down. I have to order more sandpaper before I can start on the inside.
My bed dolly worked really good to get it outside.

I wish I’d thought of it before buying these but if I need to make a change then I’m going to buy a junk garden tractor and use the front and back wheels/tires.

Greg,
Those HF air filled tires are not very good. I did buy one new set that is solid. I have about 16 more that need replaced on some of my show equip.
Hey that bed is going to look good. Yea should be dry by now!
I like your shop. I need one. I know they can never be big enough, but how do you like it! Any changes you would make?
I like your idea of using old lawn mower tires. Have to think about that, thanks for the idea.
Regards,
Chris

The thread asking about wheels on his bed dolly. I’ll check HB for hard ones.

I would love to have a side addition where grinding, bodywork, etc. could be done as to keep my tools and other items cleaner.

Well I have no new pictures to post. I’ve been swamped with other projects again. I started back a few days ago. The engine started running rough last fall so I had some real fun getting some issues figured out and it’s now running good again. I changed out the front coil springs to raise it up a bit and I now
have no clearance issues with the fenders. With the weather warming up I’m now hoping to get back to the bed. I really want to drive it this year. My work schedule is ramping up so I need to get some progress done on this truck quick.

I finally fixed a battery drain issue on my truck. I got the steering shaft u-joint welded on too.
Here's the shoulder belts finally in. I got some tan ones from a Freestyle but I didn't like how they mounted at the top. I got these from a Focus. I'll dye them later.
These are adjustable. I've got the cover for them that I'll use when the interior goes in.

What a productive day!!! Not only did I get the seatbelts finished but I also got my brakes fixed. They had been sticking somewhat and I had to adjust the master cylinder rod.
I also got the adjustable thermostat and relay wired up to the Mark VIII fan. It comes on around 190. This fan is a beast. Small animals may be sucked up if they get too close!
I think I’m finally ready to get started back on blocking the bed.
