Thanks,

Then I had a metel shop cut 2 - 14 gauge strips about 8" wide .(one for each side) I welded this strip to the cut out part at 90 degree angle. there is the tub to weld to the opening of the bed side. Just be for warned to go slow welding this in because I got a slight bow in my bed side and I was going easy on the heat ! I'v gotten several positive comments on it so I guess it turned out alright . | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 32 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 32 | Hi,Thanks for the reply. I talked to my shop teacher in school today. We were thinking if i could get a 55 gallon drum and just cut it to fit. that it would work pretty well. What do you guys think of this idea
Thanks,'

A plus to this is they are Galvanized . They also have bolt holes to use to bolt them in with out welding
