Still working on the build, T installed a spin on oil filter, put the drop sides and tailgate on! I still need to put some black on the tailgate and sides to finish the paint. I also need to put the spare tire back on. I want to install some bumperretts on the rear and put the original pins in...

Behr Paint Here are some pics of the bed and upper tool box painted with Behr Paint 383 and black substitute, I think they match very well. How do you match something that has been in the elements for years as opposed to new? The rear of the bed and mud flaps are 383 the headboard and top tool...

Hi Bud, if I had the money I would buy it and add it to my shop but I don't see that happening unless I hit the lottery! If that were to happen your shop would be too small.(haha). You don't win if you don't play!

Hi Bud, too far gone to stop now! It is getting close! Waiting on paint now, I think I will try the Behr next time due to local pick up.

Tools I have a shop I need, this would be a good place to work if I didn't have so much stuff! Most of the stuff on the floors are for MV's so I can't get rid of them or even relocate them, that is too much trouble to get what you need when you need it. Thanks I need a bigger shop.

Thanks Zev, it has been a long hard project for me but I am pleased with the way it is coming out. The weather has been though to deal with lately and my back has been giving me fits but I must keep going I will have plenty time to rest when they lay me down. Thanks Warren

I got a little more done to the build! I ordered some Rapco Paint on June 29 and it is not here yet, due to the 4th I hope. I would have the sides painted by now if I had the paint. I did get the mud flaps and brackets painted and the drop sides primed and ready for paint, the spare tire clamp...

I got the drop sides cut down and set on the bed along with the tailgate. I have to remove them to finish welding the side up and prep them for paint. I will also remove the mud flaps and prep them also. The 383 Rapco should be here on Wednesday but I doubt I will have everything ready for paint...

215Dave, Thanks for the good comments, the more I look at it the more I like it. Yes last week was great, 43 years of marriage is a super milestone these days ( My poor Wife, don't know how she put up with me that long). Again Thanks

Scar59, The tail lights were swaped and lowered due to pintel hitch brackets for hitch, I used rod couplings to lower the lights so I did not have to cut the reflectors off not that it would be problem just more work. I really like the lights due to them being further from the center. I was...

More pics of trailer hitch. Comments are welcome negative or positive, this is a learning curve and I would like your comments. ThanksIn my previous post the pics got out of order and flipped for some reason and I also have a shutter problem with my camera, please excuse my ignorance for not...

Finisher the receiver hitch today, still need some paint and relocation of tail lights and a air line. The vertical plates are 5/8" the tube on the horizontal is 4"x4"x1/4", the receiver itself was a hitch I had laying around and that beats the tractor supply price of 30 bucks for a piece 12"s...

Well I have busy in between a lot of family events, My 43rd anniversary was 6/19 and had another grand daughter Sunday and a birthday for my wife Sunday also. The birthday party was planned but not the baby, any way all is good. I got the bed back off the truck to drill the front holes to mount...

rrr, I followed your build and followed your advise on leaving the duel axels, I did many of the same things to my build and I will do more in the future. I still have a long way to go. Where did you get the plastic coat? I put some undercoat under the bed where I welded it and I had to use a...

I like that look, I won't ask if you don't! I had some nice ones on my dully and I backed up to curb need I say any more. Thanks for the pics I really like your rig!!! You are welcome.

If you are going to keep the truck, I would find a 900 series bed they look so much better and the bows and tarps are easier to find I believe.

MothersanM1, You sure have a good looking rig! I really like it, I haven't seen it displayed in a while.

swiss, MothersanM1, Thanks for looking. I should have stated either way they will be painted 383 green and the quarter fender would have rubber flaps hanging down, I think I will make them longer than original I like the longer look and function of the extra long flap. If I go with the quarter...

Caught between a rock and a hard place! Need help on deciding how to add mud flaps and I may have to move the bed back 3" depending what I decide to do. Should I do the Tan style or the green set up? Suggestions please.

Here are some pics with the bed on. After a long though process I decided to but the bed on by myself since I did not have any help. I rigged it up to the tractor and proceeded with the install, after 3 on and off of the tractor taking pics I set it down within a ince of where it needed to be. I...
