    It is built like a brick shithouse, would just bounce into place.

    Added the brake light plate. Hence the reason for the forklift. I can't put the forks under the deck anymore.70fbc043625f93a2472ae34a06630719_8fd7af60d7d04f2e4d260448cefd8efc72a2cfbb.jpg

    Called a local company to get a quote on blasting and painting the bed for me. Yeah, that dog don't hunt. $600 to blast and paint the bed if I bring my own paint. I guess I'll be wire wheeling this thing. :D

    People like the OP just blow my mind with the creativity and knowledge to do projects like this. I can do the same for home remodeling, but good god!

    Thanks. I'm looking forward to the end as well.

    Hey there stranger. Yeah, a heavier pair of gloves, or the sense to stop welding when my finger caught on fire would be a good idea.

    Light, Bumpers, and lots of switches.
    You might look into some local places that make trailers or other stuff like that. I got a quote from a powdercoating place to get my bumpers and sliders and wheels done and they said about $1200. A local fabrication place blasted and powdercoated it for $500

    Crossing my fingers! That may have been the last weld on the bed. Time to start cleaning it up.
