Thanks,

I started mocking up the rear suspension last night finally. It's going to be a while before this baby is done but I'm going to keep at it! I was thinking I might sell off some of my other projects now since I'm just too busy.

Vile, if you're selling a project, I'd be interested distance not withstanding.

I just might because I'm falling way too far behind and my career is taking a direction I never anticipated but that's a whole different story.

So the bed is nearly 100% - couple little nit picky things and It'll be ready for paint. I worked on my bike, my truck and my hot tub today, then I looked at my yard now that the snow melted and boy o boy.... I need a clone! My mother just called and has a pipe leaking in her basement so now I have to go play plumber. I should have some new pix soon.

Here's a quick pic of the bed which will be completely done next week. I need to finish the chassis and start reassembling that.

     I'd be curious as to how many man hours you think you will have when the truck is all done ?

I'm definitely not enjoying it all that much right now. It's taking up my whole garage, it's made a huge mess, cost me a lot of $ and I have other things I want to finish up but I need this thing out of the way first. My knee is in bad shape and preventing me from doing half of the things I need to finish.

Don't give up now! I took mine out to do other projects thinking that it is mine and I will get it right back in and never do. Besides we need updates for inspiration.

Haven't had a chance to update and don't have any great pix but I'll post what I have from my phone.

I'm just finishing up welding everything and stripping the frame. I'm hoping to have the frame done by next weekend.

The bed came out nice and straight just like I had anticipated.
