Finally after hours of messing around with photobucket and the site I have some pictures to post.i started out removing the rear bed crossmember and plug welding some 2 x 3 box in the stake pockets. Then used some angle to bolt to it. There is a piece of tubing that is welded between the two. I also installed my 2 rear bed supports. Then came the roll pan. Ken wanted a hidden hitch but a stock plate mount so I made a plug that hides the hitch. I cut it out then bead rolled some material with a step on it. Then made a frame work for the plug to rest on. It has some rubber on it and hold it to the profile of the roll pan. So it is nice and smooth and you still have a hitch to hall a small trailer. Then made up a panel filler piece for the raised bed floor. So I am moving forward. I am going to make a set of custom running board now. Because the other ones are in sad shape. So it is easier to make new.
