Got some work done on the truck today. Took the good floor out of the original bed and started getting it ready for the replacement bed. Here are some pics. Still have lots to do.

Cut the sides out to access the spot welds.

Had some cracks in the floor and welded them up.

PO had cut some notches out of the bed for some reason and added some angle iron for something. Got that all fixed.

Well after a long break from the truck I'm getting ready to get back to work on it. Broken thumb and getting married are out of the way now. I will post pics when I can. Hope to have it running by the end of summer.
