Progress is slow going, can't keep other things from blowing up or going to hell. I am plugging along trying to get it drivable. Don came over yesterday to test fit gates, now to finish weld hinges and new bottom metal. It looks with the gates on it, it's been two years since gates have been on the truck. Still haven't had a name come to me for this beauty. RICK

Sat. got the wooden slates in bed, what a pain the BUTT!!!!! I thought it would take an hour max, but with a very understanding wife we managed to knock out that easy project in a little over three hours!! Looks great but a pain. Just like all the things i've done on this truck, I'm hopeing the finished product is as good.

ROLL it! It IS good enough. BETTER, even. Don't fuss over small details. Deal with those as ya go along. I can't wait to see it at the next campout!

I'm afraid if I don't do it right the first time I won't go back and finish it.

This ain't California. ROLL it, man!

Lookin' good Rick. It's really cool the way the light rays are reflecting off the bulkhead.
