That's what I'm talkin about right there.
More on the channel... welded the reveal back on after moving it up 4 1/2". Next I'll rework & fill the corners in... then on to the front. Can't wait to install the Bitchin' Products floor kit... that'll really get me really motivated! Here's the progression!

Nice work Bob, keep on truckin.
A little every day!
Well... I've been trying to work on my truck a little every day & have gotten the reveal relocated 4 1/2" up & rebuilt the wings that hang down on each side. Now I'm moving to the front to raise those body mounts up & get the body mounted after the channel. Gonna order a flooring kit from Bitchin' Products next week. After all... I started this thread in May of 2007... enough's enough!!!

Still crazy after all these years!
Hey Bob, It's not like you've been sitting on your hands since 2007. There's a Panel Gasser & a Chevelle that I know of. Glad you're motivated cuz we want to see the finished product.

Looks good, like it was made that way Bob.
Thanks Gastrick... but that was lots of work to now just put a bed behind it where it won't be seen. Probably gonna have to drive around bedless for a while!!!

Channel
I got the reveal on the back of the cab finished & have moved on to the front body (cab) mounts. I cut the old mounts off & will reuse them. This area was a little funky & needed some strengthening. I used a piece of the orig firewall for this piece & it has just enough for the unfinished driver's side too. I love recyclin' parts of the truck I cut off... it makes me feel good. The 1st picture is what the 2nd one looked like B4 I started. Now on to the other one, a lil grindin' & then put the mounts back on & build the flooring!
