This truck is a driver.It's nice but not built to show quality so I can haul things in the bed I'm building and actually use the truck.My intention is to drive it as much as possible.
Right now it's licensed and functional but not very useful with no bed on the back.I actually built it back in 2003-2004 and used it to haul a 30 foot fifth wheel camper from NM to CO when I moved here. Put it on the back burner since then with lifes other responsibilities.
The bed I am building is about 75% done. I built a tube framework and then had sheetmetal bent up to cover it.It looks like an original style bed but is wider like a modern Dually bed with original style outer fenders and modern style inner fenders.Tailgate with modern latch mechanism.
Have not decided on the bed floor.A beautiful Oak bed would be nice but using the truck would damage that quickly.Plus this truck has to set outside in the harsh Colorado sunshine.
I am thinking that I will use bright aluminum treadplate as it will take abuse,stand up to the sun and be easy to clean.
I will try to post some pictures this weekend.
