    Hello guys,


    work continues without stopping :)

    I'm working on the bed but need a few more days.
    In this photo I have 2 "higher than the final plan, I had the wrong size.
    Soon more updates .... the floor will rise

    Almost a shame to cover up all that perfect white paint and chrome with the wood bed floor.Beautiful man.

    Agreed you should make a big windown in the middle of the bed!

    Hi Jake,

    in fact the level of the bed will rise so you can see what's underneath.
    when I finish work I will show you how :)


    Thanks

    I love your truck, plus I really understand the effort of sourcing parts from US. I've followed from the begining and I've learned a lot and I'm really glad you're almost done (it never ends though).
    Congratulations.

    Fantastic work and truck! Me, I think that Fulton visor that was on it in the beginning would be an awesome finishing touch.

    makes me feel like a slacker when i see the stuff folks in other countries are doing. when you count in the expense and the h***le of buying, shipping or even returning, thats dedication. not to mention the aggrevation he posted earlier about getting it registered. and we think the local dmv is bad....
