bed finally got back to the shop

then put onto the truck after extensive cutting and bracing





cut the bed to clearance for the roll cage






So i had to cut an access hole in the bed floor for my air ride distribution box. God forbid i blow a compressor line i would never be able to get the truck back into the air or even get a jack under it


Matt Van Overloop from DFT plasma (http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/89377-53-Plymouth-Belvedere-Build) found me some Hartwell latches that i am going to use

You should build in an integrated air/hydraulic jack ;) Great progress!

     That is some impressive work you have done, are you still going to want to drive it when you are done.

So I noticed you welded in the cross member over the motor. So what happens if the motor goes and you need to pull it? Guess it isn't a big deal to cut and weld it back in place though when the time comes.
