Bam, just went through the entire thread, there aren't enough words to say how nice your fab and finish work is. You have to be so proud of that Truck.

He's not just a good body man, he is an artist. The overall design and detail of the truck attests to that.
My artistic ability stops at stick people. No way could I have pictured or even imagined the finished product and all the steps to get there! Which is why I mostly do restoration work. :whoops:

Well Thanks man. I don't know about this artist stuff but I do appreciate that you see that when looking at the truck. I just see what I like good or bad its what I like so I'm glad that you like it also. Thanks.

Well I got some of the wood installed, but I have to stop here until I have some of my buddies come over to help install the bed on the truck. I have access to the bolts that mount it to the frame at this point.
