Lee, Thanks for the confirmation re the gap!
Otto, I tend to feel a bit apologetic about the fact that my bed floor is not fancy or that my paint job is not shiny, but the reality is that I need to take this project one step at a time as the investment of time and money allow. So I appreciate it when I see that not all of the vehicles that other folks have look like car show winners.
So,now on to other aspects of the project!
Going to be looking toward getting the engine to prove to me that it can run and I need to straighten out some sheet metal issues at the front end.
