painted bed assembly tips ??
Well hoping to put the painted bed panels together this weekend now that i have the wood finished. Any tips on best order of assembly or ways not to scratch it. Or things to watch out for.
It is the 51-52 midwest early ford box with added rollpan.

LOTS of patience, masking tape and some help if you can get it. my painter helped me put sides and back together before I brought it home, I mounted it with a cherry picker and tie down straps... built a little holder for the fenders and once I got two bolts in it was easy. tape adjoining surfaces til bolts are in and loose then remove tape and tighten
Bed wood wasn't bad other than 3000 trips on and off creeper and under truck
rear roll pan is a little difficult to fit up cause everything is so tight..more tape
hope that helps

Nice!
Are your roll lights markers, turn signals, brakes, or reflectors?
I’m thinking about roll brake lights or a cyclops light. I’m concerned with the low mounted tail lights not being seen.

The roll lights are Pros Pick hot lite'z they are running lights with brake and blinker. A little expensive but I was thinking the same thing with the taillights low
