idk if i am real crazy about those rims yet

[erics diesel]

looking good. what color are you going to paint it? and im not a big fan of the bigger rims on an obs i think that 16 or 17s look the best

[powerstroke2501997]

probably back to the same red, i might two tone it though, and on the rims i will have to agree with you, those are 18's. ill probably pick new ones up like an eagle alloy at the 4x4 jamboree this fall, plus those tires have about 80% left on them so i might as well get use out of them for a while

[erics diesel]

thats true no sence in wasting them. i like the look of solid colors verses a 2 tone just my opinion though. looks like you dont have much rust to deal with like i do when i get to that point with mine

[powerstroke2501997]

i have two pinn holes in the common spots on the bed, but i am going to just grind and weld and undercoat

[erics diesel]

thats nothing i need front fenders, rockers, cab corners, doors, box sides above the wheel wells and the bottom rear part of the box. and i bought this box knowing i would have to replace them parts on it but i got it for $25 i'll try to get some pics for you

[powerstroke2501997]

Right on keep this rolling

[powerstroke2501997]

sorry im back now though, i have just been busy so ill see if i can't get this one going again

got tired of trying to make the old bed work so its gone


personally i didn't think that the frame looks to awful bad


and the donor truck for the bed rust free 1990's










friend couldn't believe that i tore apart the truck just for the bed, n sold the motor 850 for the truck and pretty soon to be sold for 850 with no bed or motor )
