not bad

[csa daddy]

thanks looks like something from arizona instead of virgina

[1966JSM]

how the under side look?

[csa daddy]

good i got to raise floor for my truck its going to be bagged an layed out but i plan to actually lan to flip the boards over cause they look 100% better on the bottoms i will try to get some pics before i set it on the truck but all the sheet metal is solid with nothing but a little surface rust

Looks like you scored. I'd replace the wood since it's the opportune time to do it.

[csa daddy]

but i want it to look old an the wood is still solid except for a couple of pieces an i plan to change those

Nice pick up. (no pun intended...?)

I still don't understand how cars/trucks end up with huge dents in them. All of my vehicles are straight and I've logged nearly 400,000 miles in my driving career so far, still nothing more than smaller-than-a-golfball din.

the man at junk yard said bed was perfect except for a couple small dents at back corner the big one in the side was done at the junkyard when truck slid off forks into the side of it

here is a couple pics of what i done this evening hoping to have back half done tomorrow

Right on. Old is good. I was just thinking if you have to do the work you may as well put new in. I wish I had a short box

[csa daddy]

i think im going to go to the saw mill an get some ruff cut oak for the bed floor it wouldnt take long for it to look old

tell me about it. but i dont care im tickled pink about it if you look behind the truck you can see the old bed on its new home its alot of swiss chesse is about all that is left of it. plus it had no actual floor in it just some 4x4 wood posts under it. but the old bed will make a good junk hauler an trash hauler.

My truck is a '62 step. (so torsion, gug) I prefer the fleetside like yours very much, but I'm torn because there is something special about steps I guess. your's is looking good. is that back drivers wheel barely touching the fender? Looks like some meaty treads!

[csa daddy]

yeah they touching all the way around an the truck is setting on 31x10.50 on 15x10 wheels for a newer model chevy too much off set an truck also has no springs in it at all fixing to bag it
