  2. I would drive it, no painting needed.
     
  3. The bed floor remains untouched. Students removed the bed sides, then we removed 4 inches out of the upper, inner bed side.
    Dropped the bed sides down along with the panels that supports the tailgate hinge area.
    Sectioned the front bed panel. Then students fabricated a panel to fill the area between the roll pan and bed

    The tailgate handle mounting area was flipped to the inside, latch rods flipped and the handle area filled.

    the wheel opening was raised and narrowed in to fit the tires better. 1/4 inch rod bent and welded

    the truck was a wreck I bought. Hit in the front. Had been purchased as a wreck by its previous owner. Hit on both ends.
    During my ownership it has been hit in the side and a tire blowout KOd the bed side.

    modified the carrier bearing to raise it up and make it adjustable.

    I see a pretty direct line from traditional customs to mini trucks. I dig it, lots of the people I know with one have the other as well.

    Mini trucks were gateway customs :)
