got the flatbed welded on tonight...finish welded the ladder bar mount and started on the rails...got the driverside tacked up..
i plan to do the same on the pas. side as well as one across the front....then the 30 gallon round fuel tank thats 29" wide goes in the front against the cab...not sure where ill mount the toolbox yet
im looking foward to the huge loss of weight and the awesome visibilty...i know the 8" high rails look a little high...but i wanted them a little high t help keep junk on the truck.
I think the rails would look alot better at about 4" high
Man it was pain getting that bed centered up perfectly and all the little square tube mounts made ande welded up....as well as fitting that mig gun in those tight spots
sorry for the crappy pictures..the shop was full of smoke...i have a junky 50 dollar digi cam that i bought off ebay 4 yrs ago and the AA batteries were dieing
got my block plate in today as well ;D
it doesnt seem like im getting much done 3 hours a night but im moving kinda steady :P

im fixin to head back out there.... didnt get to work on it this weekend, just friday night...
rails or finish welded and on both sides....got to stick one across the front...that was alot of welding...
its 1x1" square tube that i got off our jobsite...it was leftovers...its a little thicker than 1/8" wall
im going to put a bar across the front and paint all the rails...then hope fully get the fuel tank mounted tonight
the bed is 6 feet long and something like 44 inches wide
it is made of 1x2" rectabgular tube with 1/8" wall on 1 foot centers...expanded meatl and angle iron aorund the outsides
i suck with a mig...but i dont think i will have a problem with welds breaking...im hoping it helps to stiffen the frame....
we shal find out....
as for the cab, haha
