Nice job!:thumbs: Are you working from a proper set of drawings? It looks very pro and a long way from some of the converted/gashed jobs ive seen.

Thanks

I have had to work it all out and design it myself there is simply no drawings available for that sort of thing they are all custom jobs. I have still got to brace the sides and put the other side in as for the quality I take a lot of pride in my work ill update with pictures as it goes. The body has got to be unbolted when complete so the chassis can be painted and the new bed can be as well should hopefully look the part then
