I see 'click the image to open in full size'..
(but if I click they don't display)
the image URL has \ in place of the normal /
if I manually replace the\ with / and view them one at a time it works..
I think u need to edit the links..
how did u get them them in the post?

I host them on my site and here's the text to display them

crap... if I put the "{img}" code in it show the pics and not the text... the address above is what I put inside the "[img]" html codes
I don't understand your last post completely... I can see where I'd get water in there... but the orig was completely open on the bottom... I hope to get a good coat of primer/paint in there and I could always cut in drain holes too ??? wouldn't that work ??

I started cutting out notches with a hole saw... and didn't like that... then tried using Metabo with cut off wheel and making square notches... didn't like that... gawd I'm picky... then I cut the whole corner of the tube out with my plasma cutter, dressed it slightly and added the mounting angles on the inside (bedside of truck)
then I slid it into place for fit (sorry, some of the pictures are a little busy, but I wasn't gonna move all that crap... zoom in !

John,
Looks like it will work to me. It would be a good idea to make sure it had drain holes in it. In reality, with a good coat of sealer in there it will last longer than you will....LOL

sam,
the last post I made with reference to 'my site' didn't contain any pics... just the address of the picture file...
yea, firefox and chrome do some different things... and ME doesn't do anything well !
Maybe a nice coat of industrial epoxy finish on the inside... that stuff is indestructable. thanks Bobby for thinking I might live that long !!!!!

I started working in a machine shop as their clerk/timekeeper in my early twenties.... dang I wish I'd learned that trade from some masters, but it didn't interest me back then... had access to every kind of machine and machinist...kicked myself several times for not taking advantage of offered instruction...
