I finished the chop on the doors. this one is ready for interior paint. After grinding I had to do a little blending of the patina. I think it looks good.
I had a serious issue with the radiator hose and alternator clearance. First choice was to mount the Alternator on the right side. The radiator hose would have to go thru the alternator. I found a mount for the left side and was able to use some special hose bends and some aluminum tube to go around the alternator. This was a big issue, Problem solved.
here is the shortened bed. I replaced all 4 stake pockets and the rear lower panel. I installed the new bed floor and welded everything up. Turned out really good except.....
I put the bed on the truck for a test fit. Hate it! It's sits to high. I took it off went back to the shop and took it apart. I lowered the bed on the floor 1 1/4 inches to line up with the belt molding [body line]on the cab. I will try it again in the morning. If I like it, its time to get the floor painted and install it. Thanks for watching
As all your pictures looks real fine. Wish it was mine; kinda.
