Here are some pics of the full truck. I had to stick the door back on to get a good line to position the bed on. It's all about the lines. hahaha yeah anyway here are some other pics of the truck. These were taken while a lady with two giant dogs looked in at me. Think about it, a bearded bald dude, in bibs taking random pictures. yeah that's what i thought...
Finally I cut the bed down about a foot and am in the process of welding the posts back onto the bed. time consuming. I used the cross braces from the Dakota bed that I got with the truck parts, and welded them onto the bed. I lost some depth, but the damn truck is channeled and I really could care less. I don't see this hauling much except parts for itself. And maybe some people around during a cruise or two. Well here is is in all it's glory.
So all in all a pretty productive time since the last update. Other things that have been in the works. I ordered and received all steering materials needed to make this thing steer. I need to fabricate a steering column holder so that I can go about fitting the steering shafts and u-joints. It should be another project that takes a little to finalize, but it should turn out ok. Next big expense is going to be the wiring harness, but well worth the cost. Till next time, fingers and toes, (thanks melissa)
