Started making the bedsides, welded 1" tubing to the top for a rolled edge ('cause that's what I had on the rack..) The bedsides will stand away from the fenders by about 1" to avoid contact. Starting to look more like a pickup now.

Some kind of wood, not sure yet what kind or the style of installation. Don't want it to be too fancy, I want to be able to chuck stuff in there without crying about scratching it. Some old barn wood seems appealing right now...

Lotsa short tack welds, going from one bedside to the other, etc. There still is a slight curve to them that I may be able to beat out of them - if not, I can live with it....

Todays progress, made and attached the bed corner posts, whittled from 2x2x.063 tubing. I curved the bottom ends and splayed the tops out for a sort of factory look instead of just square cutting them.
