tiny update....
the bedside braces have been extended to compensate for the raised floor (while appearing stock)
i wasn't gonna post of pic of this mod... but decided i would to show why the bed has been taking a long time.... Brandon, the fabricator asked if i would give him some wiggle room for some "artistic expression"... his idea was to incorporate the CHEVROLET letters from an old tail gate into the header panel of the bed. We've all seen this mod done on newer smooth tail gates and even Collin's hood... but Brandon or myself couldn't recall ever seening the graft done INSIDE the bed... so here goes!
the pic is dark, the sheetmetal is raw, bare in mind it needs much more work...
i think when it's all said and done and repainted it will look pretty good *fingers crossed*
