Re: Making my bed update 3-3-09
I started making the wheel tubs, my friend sold me a trailer fender for $30.00
and another 20 for the rest of the sheet metal.
I need to get this done soon cause I need to have my truck inspected by a sherifs station because I got a ticket for 3 violations
.
Just wish this rain would stop just for a few days, it only took about 2 hours to do what the pictures show.

You gotta love those violations! They are a great way to hold up progress on a project! No $ left to fix the wrongs! Good luck marz, and looking forward to pics of more progress.

Re: Making my bed update 2-4-08
So it's been a long time since I did anything to my truck Iv'e been buisy working on the new house.
I also bought a 89 ranger cause I need a small truck to haul stuff in. As you can tell I don't like leaving my
rides stock so I had to drop the ranger.
I did a 3" drop ibeam and a rear flip kit with a mini notch.
I will also put bags in the rear for more load capacity.
Here it is when I got it.

Here it is dropped. I need to cut half a coil to level it out.


Now that I have a daily driver truck I can now haul stuff with it.
I can now go and buy the rest of the sheet metal for my 68 so that I can finally finish the bed.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Re: Making my bed update

About the pictures from the begining I think I was removing some pictures from my photobucket account
