Looks like you need a shorter belt for your compressor...

Manufacturer of Sanden compressor pumps say the oil fill nut on the top should be at 90° so it doesn't starve the pump for oil..

Chad, love the way you finished off the rear stake pockets with the box and roll pan. When you have a chance can you post of picture direct from the back. Well partly/well mostly for me, may have to copy your idea. Just want to see how far down you took the stake pockets.

Thanks. I can't get a good rear shot yet. Truck still on jig and bolted to floor. I can measure how far down from bed floor tomorrow.

I try and not clutter up a great thread like this one with a bunch of unnecessary chatter, but after 25 pages I feel the need to express how much I appreciate the quality of your work and thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
