Progress! It'll be nice to get the bed mounted. Wheels look like they're going to work out well..

 

[smallfoot]

They'll look killer![cl

Interesting Day...
Got the tires mounted. Finished the frame for the truck box. Got it mounted and in an effort to outdo bob w went to the ER with chest pains AND a hole in my hand from a nice shiny new 5/16 drill bit.
Back home now and I'm exhausted.
See you all tomorrow...

Take it easy Torchie the hole will heal but the chest pains are pretty serious.

 

[Old Iron]

Dang buddy, we don't need any contests of either kind like that
So what was the chest pain prognosis?

 

[bruno]

Slow down Torchie! Take care of yourself, the truck ain't going anywhere.

 

[Torchie]

Thanks all.
The chest pain issue is just more of the SOS. I haven't been as good as I should and that's the universe telling me to straighten up and fly right.
I see my cardiologist on Monday and am prepared to receive the a** whipping I deserve.
The drill into the hand. Well................... [S
Have a great Mothers day all you mothers.

Funny thing OI. They asked me the same thing at the ER. Apparently most people can't use tools with either hand. According to my wife. I can't either now.

[joedoh]

looks great! and look at the size of those wide whites! might be easier next time just to buy white tires and a black magic marker [cl[cl[cl

speed holes dont work in frames either!

 

[Torchie]

Spent Thursday and Friday back in the Motherland (East side of Detroit) as my sister had a memorial service for our Mom. But back at it today.
Had some large U bolts made up to use to mount the box to the frame. Simple but effective. Like me.
Also stuck in one of the spotlights to see what it will look like.
I get my eye injections tomorrow so the paln is to get back to narrowing the other rear fender while my vision is at it's best.
Thanks for stopping by......
Torchie
p.s. Drilled 2 holes and neither of them in my hand. LOL

 

[DozerII]

Looking really good Torchie like the spot light.

Sorry to hear about the health issues Torchie, hopefully the hand is healing up well.

Great progress though. The wheels and tires look so good!!! Well worth the extra effort [cl[cl[cl
