Nice ! I have a few more thing to do with mine but I'm stuck on the tool/storage box. If I can't find one for a shortbed I'm just going to sheetmetal it.

yeah that is what alot of people do but there are some out there if you want to keep it original just have to find them and if you cant you can always waste money with the ebay dude.

I want to drive it for about a month to find out was needs to be fixed first because I plan on doing a slow rebuild so I can still enjoy it on the weekend it will be apart most when I repaint it.

That would actually be pretty cool to see if you did that. I don't think it would be that hard and you could do a lot of different things with that. Hardware for that is definitely available. Take pics of you do decide to take that route.

I would love to keep it original but if I can't find one for a reasonable price I'll just patch it.

Hey maybe I'll get lucky and you will find one for me when you go to the yard.

I will definatly keep my eye out. I will start to go around the mid of april if you can hold off till then or if you have something else you can start on.

Those are my thoughts. To hold off as long as I can and start on something else.

Why not just cut down a long one?

trueblue0409 · Post by **trueblue0409** » March 21, 2011, 10:32 pm

it would be about the same amout of work as just sheet metaling it up.

I got one but it's RUFFF.jim

Tigger! · Post by **Tigger!** » March 22, 2011, 7:17 am

I think there is actually more work because the long box is obviously longer and taller. I would have to cut the box and not the bed.

Tigger! · Post by **Tigger!** » March 22, 2011, 7:19 am

What I meant to say is wider not longer.
