short bed

[smitty77]

Nice work.  Persistence pays.  Now get all of those little projects done on the frame and undercarriage while the bed is off.  Maybe slap a little POR15 on everything.  Cab mounts would be a little easier to get to in the rear if your rubber mounts are getting shoddy.

Good job!

what can i do about my frame beaning bent i thought that i could take a hammer and beat it back and make sure that it is level

[Blazin]

Just wail it back into place with a big hammer. It might help to have two hammers. Hold one down on the top right at the bend, then use the other one to swat the low part back up in place.

I think the vin is by the steering box. I remember seeing a number under the left side of the cab but i am not positve.

well today i was going to take my bed harness off and i seen that my harness looked like a drop cord and some one rewired it and put it on there you can see it in the pic above

lol... I'm sure you can pick up a factory used harness cheap. Maybe someone on here has an extra one. I have no more extra's left.

How did they even get that to work? An extension cord only has three wires in it. The tail light harness has four wires.

Maybe use the frame for the ground, the three wires for left turn, right turn, and tail.  Forget about reverse lights...

Just when you thought you seen everything and something new pops up.Totally amazed on what people do to make things work thats totally beyond oddball.


thanks

[hotrod24]

well the extension cord it was cut off and had some kind of plugs on them

[Blazin]

Most times when I get a truck the tail light harness has usually been butchered beyond repair. I cut it up near the fire wall. I run new trailer wire back, I use the 8 / 1 black wire. That covers the stock 4 wires, plus a ground, power for a trailer plug, a wire for auxiliary back up lights on a switch, plus a spare. I also install a junction box on the rear cross member. Similar to this one.
