I like the over all height of the bed. I would frame in the bottom and call it a day. I think it looks great sitting where it is.

 

[junkmagnet]

appreciate the input, kinda what i was thinkin!!

 

[junkmagnet]

Magnet it also looks very much like my truck I live in Brandenburg Ky. hope to see you on the road soon. Will be following you're build keep us posted.

put some pictures of your truck on here, id like to see it..

 

[junkmagnet]

got the floors cut out, man what a huge job. goin back together, im gettin pictures along the way. ill post them tomorrow...

 

[Bonehead]

It looks like the frame would go up into the bed pretty easy. I think it would be worth the effort. The bed itself looks great, but I would drop it some.

something else ive been kickin around, i think im gonna steal somethin from bonehead. i think im gonna put a cage in it, with the rear tubes running through the mailslot (window) not only looks cool as can be, but is a very functional safety....

had tpo bring it home from the shop in louisville, to measure for cab mounts, heres a few pics of what i have done.

 

[junkmagnet]

OH YEAH, I ALMOST FORGOT....... I DID THIS TOO!!! still gotta clean up the welds.....

 

[junkmagnet]

also got the disc brake kit ordered from speedway motors, hard to beat their prices. will get more pictures today.any advise on a steering column, i have a chrysler fluid drive, but its pretty rough!!..

 

[junkmagnet]

whats the best way to suicide the doors, kinda wanna keep with the ruff look, kinda outrageous. this cab is really rough shape, just wanna keep it around a few years more. i hate to see people scrap them..

[ratterman]

I saw a rat at frog follies last year that used heavy cast iron gate hinges for his suicide door hinges.

 

[rainman]

Been thinking about suiciding mine too, if I do I'll probably use whats already there. Same hinges and latches, seems like it wouldn't be that hard.

 

[junkmagnet]

my hinges and latches are in bad shape, i need another route to take...

 

[junkmagnet]

got the cab sittin back on it to measure the cab mounts, i think the 2.5" channel and 5" bed drop turned out pretty good. MY WIFE EVEN SMILED, AND THERE WAS NO LAUGHING INVOLVED!!!!

 

[junkmagnet]

See the difference???? Well worth the effort!!!

 

[junkmagnet]

headed back to louisville to put the speedway motors disc brakes on and do some cabmounts

 

[junkmagnet]

CANT STAND IT ANYMORE , I WANNA DRIVE IT...
