It looks really mean the way you have it i really like it keep up the good work
 
It looks good. Do you have a straight on side shot? It doesn't look too long from the angle you posted. Of course, I tend to favor the bed a little longer on the late thirties trucks.

Hate to say it but I kinda think you should lengthen the bed;)

It looks good as it is. Im digging the logo on the side, any ideas on the trucks history?

The truck came from the oil field ,was a 1.5 ton compressor truck used to start the engines on oil wells ,the business was located in Turnertown,Tex.it was owned by John Kiker and called Texas Boiler & sheet iron works
The last owner used the truck and compresser to drill parking meter holes in curbs all over east Texas

I think the bed is fine like it is. At first I was thinking it could be shortened a few inches between the cab and rear tire but looking at the overall wheel base it needs to stay long to be proportionate with the long front end. Now that's just my opinion.

Nice project and I look forward to more progress pictures.
 
Here is a better side view.I decided to leave the bed alone because of the length of the frt. end , Thanks for all the help and i will try to get a few build pic.s posted soon ,DOGMAN
