Great job man!!! Really growing fond of the step side beds after looking through your project! I know what it takes to get this far in your work and can appreciate what I am seeing.
Bed wood kit installed. Got the bed sitting back on the frame. Sill have to wet sand the bed and shim everything level. Got the wheels and tires for it but going to install them last. Still need to paint the rear bumper. Modify the tailgate that was on it to work with the stock latches. Get a grill shell and front bumper. Final alignment of the hood then give everything a final buff. Thats about all that is left on this project...... hopefully.
Back at it with more work done. Bed mounted on the truck. The custom tailgate has been cleaned up and made to work with the factory latches so I can replace with a factory tailgate when I can get my hands on one. Tail lights and rear bumper installed. Bed wet sanded and first stage of buffing done. Finally got a grille shell and front bumper got those installed. Some final body lines to adjust and a road test SOON!
Finished up the tail light wiring. finishing touches on the tailgate. Side steps installed. Moved it under its own power for the fist time in 2 years! Found a tag that is correct for this year truck. Need to do a restoration on that now. Will get some pictures in the wild soon!
