i'm not a fan of longbeds, or most lifted trucks, but your truck is CLEAN!

Got the bed primered this weekend.







I also built my box for my sub.



The box is 24x15x8x4 made out of 3/4" RFD Particle board covered in fiberglass. The sub is an Alpine Type R with a Rockford Fosgate 500.2. I hope I can get this bed blocked and painted by next weekend.

I got them from summit. They are 2 5/8" and 5" gauges. They fit in the stock bezel with some cutting and grinding.

Got some pictures of the sub and amp installed.





I need to prime the bed again and block it one last time before wet sanding. I am hoping to have it painted next weekend.

Thanks for sharing your pics! Awesome work there. That looks like it's going to be fun to blast around in. With that stroker you'll be a pal to old Sgt. Dell for sure. Ha!

Did a lot of work this weekend. The truck is pretty close to being finished. I got the exhaust, wheels and tires, lights, grill etc on and I am happy with how it looks.









I just haven't got the tailgate buffed out yet, thats why it isn't installed. I need to fix some holes in the bed then spray the bedliner on. A few more chrome pieces and its ready to go.

Your truck looks great.  I really like the color and the tire/wheel combo.  Keep us posted.

Looks nice. What style mirrors are you putting on it?
