Default Re: Progress pics - 36 1/2 ton pickup

Got the bed put on yesterday. Underside has new oak boards and the bed frame is powdercoated. Got anxious to see it on the chassis and didn't stop to take photos, but since this is only the mock-up phase the bed will come off again to get painted and I'll shoot some pics then.

Its kinda a b!tch installing an assembled bed onto the chassis by yourself with no hoist or lift to work with! Maybe to remove it I'll back the truck into the garage and hook some small pulleys to the joists. Then I can lift the bed and roll the truck out from under it.

So here's what its looking like today:
