Blythewoodjoe, Just went thru your link to your step side, it really looks good.
To me finding the right bed is critical; I'm using an M101a3/M116. I also wanted a short truck, but still wanted to be able to fit a 4'x8' sheet of plywood between the wheel wells [for Saturday trips to Lowe's] The out-to-out dimensions on the fenders exactly match the deuce front fenders and the bed width matches the cab width, so to me it looks like it "belongs"
I need to ride over and visit you one day when you get into your bobbing, would love to compare notes
