I drive it around when it's nice out...back and forth from the house to the farm only about half a mile lol. Makes it hard to drive around with no brake lights or anything! I love driving this thing though I'm just ready for it to be done so I can enjoy it this summer. The weather isn't being kind to us farmers this year so that means less truck driving time as well 
thanks for the motivation!
thanks for the motivation!Set backs do suck... don't they?

They sure do but that’s part of the process...if it was easy you wouldn’t appreciate it as much! Did you get the cab of your flipped on it’s back to reach the underside?

Anyone know where to get a replacement panel for the passenger side rear corner of the bed? Ordered one from LMC but it doesn't wrap around the corner enough to cover my repair area. Any tips or suggestions on other panels from different suppliers or anything would be great!

I looked there but they don't provide the measurements I need to make sure the corner wraps around enough...plus they don't have pictures for all of their parts so I want to get the right one. Thanks for the reply though mike!

Could you maybe add some sheet metal to the piece you have? I'm not sure what the gauge is... Looks like you have the hard part done with the patch panel.

Here's the drawing for the spacings. Trying to find some pics of the cabs lights.
Edit* found an old and new picture on my phone. If you need better pics I can get more.
Also I may have more older pictures on my computer

I had the same prob but don't remember where they came from. I welded in what I had and made custom pieces to fill in the rest. I completely rebuilt both sides completely. I remember having a hell of a time getting the new panel positioned correctly. Seems like the profile was off a ways and had to "modify".
