I think it came out great, and actually looks a whole lot like what I'm hoping it to come out like... All I can say is that I think it will strike fear into anyone driving a subcompact car

oh, i like this.......those drawers are great (i've always liked utility beds)
i would be changing my mind back and forth 100 times about "lengthen bed vs. shorten frame" good luck on that one,





also what a great deal, if your travel takes you through/close to Harrisburg, PA give me a PM.

fyi, i'll get those measurements this weekend (if i can remember where my garage is, been awhile since i've been out there)

Unfortunately, the route I'm gunna take won't be past Harrisburg or else I'd be making a swing past to see your truck (taking I-90). The bed is just outside of Albany.

I'm pretty certain I'll be lengthing it to 8ft and maybe doing some minor interior mods to better utilize the large main storage area.
