ok, so this bed really has the wheels turning in my head. Going for a prerunner style truck? have anything drawn up as to the finished product of truck/bed? or is all in your head? Cause im really likin the looks of this bed

 

Ugly Green Paint? Oh No!



I too Want to see this Bed done

 

Well I modeled the bed off of a Dodge from Pirate, went a little different route with it, not sure on the tailgate yet. I was going to make a tailgate using pieces from my old one and then I was thinking about making a spare tire gate. Still up in the air.

 

I registered to this site just to follow this thread to its completion!

good work man, definately inspiring and thought provoking!

I especially like how your grille and lights looked after painting/blacking out, really sharp! and im stoked to see how those tires are going to look installed!!

 

Any updates?

 

yea man, hows the project going?

 

I've been real busy!
Here it is all painted, ready to go on. I didn't really worry about the deck because it will be bedlined once it's on. This truck should be done Sunday, then starting the SAS

 

looking great so far! im really looking forward to the SAS pics because im looking at a 44 this weekend

 

pretty cool mine wont be that easy lol here in the rust belt

 

how about a tailgate off of a old stepside box? like 70's-80's? they should be fairly narrow and they have the old school "ford" stamped on them....i've always wanted to add a couple letters and make my tailgates say " floored"

 

I don't know... I hate to say this ... Its looking good, but I would have like to see something different on the fuel neck set up. Maybe even take the raised cover all the way to the front of the bed? I'm just not to sure on that big opened ended box a few inches down from the front.

No sides just the tubing?

Maybe its me I kind of thought you were going to skin the floor and sides.

 

I was going to do the sides but the cutting and welding became overwhelming, this project has gone on too long. It was becoming too heavy also. I couldn't think of any other way to do the fuel neck this seemed to be the only solution and it might not work so I might just put a door in the bed and make it flush

It's done. Just gotta mount the bumper and the lights

 

looking good! now you just need some tint and those SS's mounted on black rims. Im having a feeling that you might have to move your exhaust for those tires though

 

Yea I might have to haha it will be close. I do need to get those mounted soon, looking at some wheels tonight hopefully.

 

Here it is all finished and a bit muddy haha. First time driving the truck so I had to go have fun!



Solid axle is all ripped apart, piece are being painted, this will be all lifted and done very soon
