    I did my truck for around 7-800 I think. Bought my truck crashed and wasn’t able to find a bed in time.

    Between work and weather, the progress has been slow, but I finally made some headway.



    Started on the box portion of the flatbed. Originally had a 15.5" tall storage space but thought it was too tall so I shortened it by 2 inches from this pic.

    Unsolicited advice-Make sure you have enough room here. I set mine at the gap the bed had, but with my headache rack I cannot get my hands in there to clean the window. Also made an error as the bed has to come off to replace the window... or a plasma cutter. Bone headed error that one.
