    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 hassle 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....
