That's a beast!
Gary

Started making a bedside. Kinda different than factory but material size sways some specs. I am digging it with my new sheet brake

Very interesting

got a lot done and pushed it out side!




made my own paint color with rustoleum. full can or leather brown and dark hunter green.




made the grille out of 2"x 1/8" aluminum. weights pretty much nothing. i wanted to make it out of 2 1/2"x 1/4" but cost goes way up.

frosty morning pics....

exactly what i am building for!
rear bumper and tailgate today.

my fun little half doors
they will have a fixed piece of glass glued in

After all the sheet metal repair I’ve done to mine maybe this would have been the smarter way.

Looks great, all the looks are popping.

It is fun to get the details on it. I cant wait to get it on the truck scales. So far the coil over shocks say it is much lighter than my old Cherokee the drivetrain came out of. I think i might put some fake rivets in the half doors to match

I just could never spend the $ for a real one to get rust. I think i am at about 3500 in build materials now

most of the tail gate is done



need to get some modern wire straps to hold her level



i wanted it mounted to frame more than typical barrel style pivot on the bed itself. 1/2" bolt, 1/4" plate

Wow-that is some impressive work!
Gary
