    Great job. I really like how you finished the welds and end caps. Almost anyone can weld but not everyone has a gift for detail when it comes to making it look good.

    looks damn good. i might would put some black grip tape or something on those to keep from slipping on the slick surface.

    surprised a comm guy would do such good work :D

    I'm in the works of figuring out how much the brackets will cost cnc/plasma cut, and see if I can make more. If there is any interest out there. I'll also look into powdercoat or line-x.

    I'm hopeing to get a good quote on coating, hopefully line-x, I'm trying to get the price around 250. Does that sound reasonable? I just wanna sell these to buy rims and tires. Post up if your interested, I would like to see the interest.

    I'm sure I could do a regular cab or access cab if I had one to do a mock up on. Can't do anything about the angles of the steps cause I don't have a tube bender...yet.
