Rest assured, when the time comes, I will be crafting a fine express body for the back of the truck. In the meantime, I picked two of these bodies up from the auction next door for a buck each. One of them has some neat hardware (tailgate latches, etc.) and the other has a few other details I intend to incorporate in my build. In the meantime, this one will provide a nice place to put things (to de-clutter the floor and bench). I'm pretty much done with the back half of the chassis so why not turn it into usable real estate for now? If you notice in the picture, they don't fit anyway -- the center cross piece rubs on the rear tires.

When they have served their purpose, and given up some parts, both of these beds will be given a Viking Funeral (lovingly tossed on the burn pile).
