Real nice job on the dash, Flipper. I used the EZ on the wife's truck, tho I mounted the panel on the firewall. Still a real fun job.

Thanks. I really had never paid much attention to them either until I stumbled across this truck.

I really love your truck! I've read and reread this thread numerous times and I can't get enough. Do you have any updates for us? I'm like a crack addict! Please please post some more!
I really like the flat bed. Do you have any pics and details on how you built it. I like the rounded corners.

The truck was a flatbed when I got it. It looks like a factory job. I re-used the original outer steel section (shortened it about 11" if I remember correctly) and some 1.5" steel tubing to get it where it is now. This weekend, I swapped out the power steering box for a S-10 manual steering box......no squeeling belts for me! ....and added dual filament light sockets to the original running light housings. I now have running lights AND turn signals up front without disturbing the farm fresh look. Neither mod was all that exciting, so I didn't document it with pictures.
