I guess my chubby fingers just move to fast. Or maybe it's the chicken pecking style typing.

This afternoon we started putting new patch panels on the 92, most of the passenger`s side is welded in and looks great. The plasma and mig are a blessing to say the least.
A friend of mine Dan is doing a great job, the hard part is his time so I`m going to try to do as much of the work on it as I think I can.

on my 1977f250 i plan on putting a flat deck type deal..
not exactly flat, it has sides but very low.. the only pic i have.

BTW^^^thats a photoshop of something of how i want my truck to turn out..

i also have a flat deck on my 79 f150 ext cab. it cost roughly $700 to build, and i like it way more than a box. this one also has sides, but they fold down. its great for hauling square bales.

I got mine from Walkers Auto Body Supply, they`re nice & heavy in 18 gauge with a decent fit.
Hard to explain all the things involved, there`s a lot to watch for so drop in someday and I can point them out.
Happy New Year preppy.

Very early spring will work, before the busy season starts up around mid April.

Thank you and a very Happy New Year to all of you in the cold country, I get cold just thinking about all the time I lived in Maine. I moved to Florida to get warm and our temps are going down quick, see link below
