    I've been working on building the bed. It had a rough steel bottom so I cut it out and making it a wood bottom. I got the mounts done. Going to add some more bracing but ran out of steel. The fender still needs to be positioned and mounted, it's close. I need to figure out how I want to do the back finish panel and mount the tailgate.

    Have you ever considered swapping the fenders side to side?
    To my eye they just seem backwards....

    It's a common thing on these but I think I like it the original way.

    To each his own right??,, but can I ask a favor?? If you've the time could you humor me and grab a pic with the fenders swapped 'round!?!?! I've seen another truck like yours and it just seems to me that the fenders are backwards. I don't know if the opportunity will ever come again.. so if you have a chance.. could you humor me and show a pic with the fender the other way?? PLEASE???

    Yeah, Mike, I agree that at first glance, the fender looks kinda backwards so I googled this truck and after scrolling though all kinds of images of it, I notice this truck has all kinds of odd little design quirks that make it seem to work, sorta...but, I did find one where they swapped the back fenders around so we can save StudM5 the hassle of trying to appease you...

    Well Thanks to you R2. I also had "googled" and searched for a pic so I could post what it might have been.
    Hadn't stumbled upon this one. And this pic does appease me! LOL
    I think it looks so much better than the "right way 'round"...

    It's funny, to me that looks backwards.

    I agree. They come out great and really "dress up" the whole box.

    Thanks.
    Any suggestions on how to make some running boards? I was thinking of cutting up some 2x10 steel tubing but I know its pretty heavy overkill stuff. Maybe I could find a place to bend up some 14 gauge , it that is strong enough.

    White oak is a beautiful wood when finished. Quarter saw white oak is excellent!
