Well the obvious question you would have, why am I cutting the bed into pieces? Well my idea is to convert the long bed into a short bed in order to extend the cab.
Here comes the Boss, I have to look busy! I don't think she likes what I am doing to her truck.
Removing the rust and it would be nice to have some young person doing this for me while I supervise. Any suggestions on brand names for under coating?
Inside length of the bed will be six feet and a total of eight feet with the tail gait down. I am not a rich man so I will be watching every dollar going out and trying to reuse pieces cut out of the bed to extend the cab due to it already having the same shape. The top half of the cab, the underneath flooring and brace supporting system will all have to be fabricated with what I have available. I have looked on line and have found nothing to reference for what I am about to do. I do not have a blue print to follow, even if I did I do not think I would want someone elses idea on Jack. The cab will be cut at the back edge (1 to 1 1/2 ") and at an angel to the top cap, across cab and back down. The back support brace under the cab will be the dividing cutting line so it can be used for the new plate and bracing to attach to.
Is this going to happen before Christmas.... Ha Ha Maybe next Christmas
My Wife did ensure I got early gifts in the way of tools to start the project, I Love my wife!
Oh, My Son sent me a msg on Facebook saying he got excited for a moment when he thought I was building a low rider. Sorry, I need the nice ride without feeling each pebble on the road.
