09blacktaco's build

Nice. Both my gussets were cracked, I rewelded them, but suspect my passenger may be bent as well . . .

Almost have the truck back in wheeling shape, lets get out sometime this spring!

 

Picked up a bed rack from a local member.

 

Updates in your build thread? What's going on?

Bed rack looks good! Here's a couple pictures of your rig from the last trip in case you missed them:

 

Thanks Brett.

So I have Pelfrybilt High lift and Ax/Shovel mounts in my bed. I love the way these mount up and keep your tools somewhat out of sight as well as secure, but I've had trouble with the plastic tri head securing knobs. It's probably the environment where i live that degrades the plastic super fast. Anyway I went looking for some Aluminum knobs with steel threads. I found some! http://estore.jwwinco.com/default.aspx?page=item detail&itemcode=6T175FP4

Heres what the Plastic starts to do in just under a year. See the small crack?


It eventually shatters the plastic knob and I'm left with this. Not ideal.


These should hold up for a while!
