Hope your hand is doing well. Stuff like that sucks in the middle of a build, great job on the pics and write up.
The stretch on the fenders looks great also I have been trying to find good pics of someone who did a job that well for a while. I think its now time for me to start experimenting with some junk yard fenders to get my welding back in check. Did you stretch the fenders on the bed also? a few of the image links wouldn't load so I may have missed it.
Well, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I havent had a chance to do any work on the bed yet.
Need to shorten it about 16" but probably wont section the opening like I did on the front fenders.

Time for an update...
Docs say its time to start using my hand. Therapist gives me all these little exercises to do at home. So naturally I figure working on the truck would be good therapy.
My nephew came over to help cut down the bed. It's now a 5 foot shortbed

Got the rear winch mounted and started finishing the shortened bed.
Why so long behind the tires?

The frame?
Good eye, it will stick out about 3 inches after the bed is mounted. It will make a bumper center.

Thanks guys. It turned out just how I envisioned it.
There is still much to do, body work, hopefully paint, finish the fuel system, exhaust, and interior.
The rims are from Ion wheels model number 171
