Re: Shave and a haircut, need some ideas...
Thanks for the compliments. I've been working on it, just took an extended nap yesterday since I had to work all night. The dump pivot point is just about done. I used some of the 5/16 plate from the tank holder for the pivot plate, gusseted it with 1/4" diamond plate for light mounts. I flipped the chunk of the middle step over to box the side plate and used a chunk of 3/16 diamond plate as a skid plate for the middle lamps. It looks pretty darned good and maybe I'll take some pics before work tonight.

Finally took some time to take some pics. Working nights makes daylight rare...
The oldest and I rolled the bed into the garage so I can work on it out of the weather. We got the rear lights mounted. I need to figure out the pivot point and build that up, then box the outside for strength and of course I need to do the corner lamps. According to the DOT I'm supposed to have reflectors on the corners and back as well.
Finally a pic of my '55' Logan 9x25 that I just finished putting back together. I still have to paint the cabinet but at least I can use it now.
