Side Boards, Troop Benches & Top Bows!

Post by Tim Powell »

Hello Crew.
Taken me a while but I'm ready to start installing my rear bed parts. I have the full compliment of parts accumulated to install the full sideboards with troop benches and top bows.
Does anyone have any real sharp pictures in their photo albums I can view to guide me through the process and have everything looking original?? I want to install all the parts in the proper place and position.
Any help or picture would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

I'll check when I get home from work, Tim. I think I have some photos of the seats and side rails.

Please let me know if you need any detail shots or close up photos.

Good Luck with your project!

Hey Carter!!
Thanks Buddy! I took a ton of pictures today to document the progress and the process and they were all too dark.
I don't think I need a new camera I think my Lori need a new photographer. A couple turned out ok, but I still have some parts unidentified?
Tomorrow is another day my Friend! Cheers.

Thank You Carter!
You have some parts on our rig if I remember correctly.
It's been fun but not nearly finished.
