It should have been done some time ago. I am needing to swap out hydraulic cylinders for steering but other than that its ready to go. Unfortunately swapping cylinders means torching the mounts off the axle tube and refabbing all of it. I'll get too it before spring.
Still not sold on the bigger double ended cylinder?
Still keeping the factory bed? I've been kicking around a few models on SW but I still can't work the bedsides into it and keep it looking good.

yep, sold on it, just can't find it back. Not in a huge hurry so I'll find it again sooner or later. No longer where we had looked at it.
Factory bed stays. Just can't think of a way to blend the two so I won't try. Out of time to do much dinkin' around with it anyway.

bed thoughts...
In the local JY here there's a 60's Furd with a stepside bed that has 3 toolboxes built into the fenders. One in front, one in back, and one above the tire. I like stepsides, thought it would look good and be handy on my crewcab, if I build it, which would be a tow/trail/family/recovery rig.

Mikey and I were trying to make it flow from the cab into the bed sides and dually fender look. It's hard to do, seems everything we did got it closer and closer to what it already is. I'm just gona leave it.

How about flared bedsides? I have a bunch of pics if you'd like. You're trying to cover the duals, now that they don't stick out as far, right? I don't care for the factory dual fenders myself. Looks like a fat chick. Later model ones seem to flow better.cybrfire said:

Nah, not that I don't like them I do, they're just fragile. Most flatbeds I see look like some put a flatbed on a pickup rather than "That is the way its supposed to be." It's the area directly behind the cab and to the tires that is the problem. We had some good lines going behind that but nothing in front of the rear tires or above it for that matter.
email the pics!
