Spent the day yesterday SLOWLY drilling the bed strip holes...60 in total thru structural U channel....all while under the influence of my shimgles booster shot....but I got it done. Here is my "favorite" version of the back plate (for all intents and purposes legally read that as "bumper"). orange dot is camera, yellow is trailer connections. I just don't know if the marker lights are "out" far enough or not. I might need to trim my stake pocket bits a bit to push them out further.
-
Maybe go thicker on that plate...heat deflection might get ya otherwise.
-
Those will go in the faux fuel saddle tanks. Short headache planned.
-
I have a bed... Things left: 1. Fuel fill bracket 2. Tie down backers 3. Drill holes for bed strips 4. Drill holes for marker lights 5. Make bed tail plate for turn, brake, back up, plates,back up camera and trailer power

Front sitting on a cross member, rear set correct with cart.

Yah the bed is just past the duals, but under the 8'6" max width. He's a wide one for sure, but with the running boards and all it will make more sense visually.
-
Bed "on" the truck. Not at final height yet. Amazing what you can do by yourself with no ready hands to help.
-
Yah guessing 600 or so pounds from the raw metal weight at pickup. Other side done today.

All I run on my small engines and on FEF is non-oxy...have had little issues (to none) on litteing things sit and fire right up and run right. My only exception is the weed whip....small 4 stroke that has always been a bit...difficult.

Bed progress

Welcome Dave to our (dis)functional little part of the world! Start a build thread for your project to keep things nice and tidy and to keep us all up to date on your progress. Here is a link for a thread the memebers have contributed to for parts vendors: Suggest you buy a Parts Manual and a Shop Manual off the interwebs to help you in your project. What are your plans? Full resto, resto-mod, fix and drive? The search function here can be a bit tricky so this thread was started to help: https://p15-d24.com/topic/46048-search-help/

some tight tols on the .484 dim... Break out the GD&T -
Spent more time with the parts yesterday, a few cut off wheels and a few scary moments with large pieces by myself....I've secioned it into 4 pieces now, but have decided to just build a new one, these parts are just too beat up to match up to a nice clean cab and frame. So off to CoreMark I go to spend unplanned $$.
-
And now to the bed...
-
may as well play as well....found this over on the land of facey books...
-
So about 10 mice left for each you caught...LOL
-
maybe a Sun tester? Color looks similar?
-
Better than my experience...I had some blue lyretail rams....very colorful and they decided to procreate....even with a divider all the fry got gone when a fish jumped the barrier and ate 'em all. (not my picture, mine were even more colorful)
-
If the horn is the same as the B series, you may have to clean the contacts (done it seems)and/or make adjustments on the set screws on back. I had to dial mine in a bit to get a good "honk".

Next year at the Q
-
Mounted the running board mounts yesterday, but removable until cab goes for paint.
-
punching holes in the firewall and building running board mounts....and modifying acc pedals

Ever see the video of the tesla that was burning under the ocean after they pushed it in? These chemical reactions just don't stop.
