todays project was to figure out what to do with the top of the back of the bed....
earlier on I had always planned on using a bedside and wrapping it around the back.

2 problems: making the corner flow the way I wanted was not panning out, and I used my last good non twisted bedside to repair the passenger side yesterday...

I thought about using parts of a 61 gmc hood that I have, but the problem with using stuff from the front on the rear is that we are used to seeing certain parts in certain spots; so when you put a hood or front bumper on the back it just looks like the truck is parked backwards.

after looking and trying whatever I had laying around, and then just staring at it for a while, the simple solution arrived: just use the upper part of the tailgate and the stock bed corners.

so I went out and picked out the best worst (if that makes sense) tailgate I had, and cut the top off of it.
I leaned it out at a sharp angle, and think it turned out just right.
