Has anyone done this and what problems lay ahead? The only problem I see is forming the top roll? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 439 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 439 | Usually isn't a big deal if you can find someone with a big enough break.
Often the roll is just a piece of pipe welded on top of the bedside.
I don't remember what the stake pockets look like on thsoe trucks but if it's square that can be folded up aswell. If not I believe you can buy those separate and just spot weld them on.
Good Luck. | | |
