Re: Plus Five

So,
I think I've covered most of the rear bed,fenders etc.

I do want to mention MAR-K quality truck parts. I bought
all of my box parts from them, and they are excellent.
Service and shipping were great.

It saved so much time using their new parts I think it saved
me money as well! Great products!!!!!!

I planned a different type bed floor, so ordered my bedsides
without holes or angle strip welded in place.
They have options already in place to custom order your box
parts and mine came exactly as ordered.

I wanted something sturdy, maintenance free, and different.

I drew up a sketch of a flange and C-channel shape and had a local
sheet metal shop bend them up for me. I stayed shy just a little
from the sides, and installed a L-shaped bracket to tie it
together and fill the gaps.

It is .080 brushed stainless steel. I made recess and dimple dies
to mount the screws and bolts. There are a ton of bolts that hold it
together and hold it down to the frame cross members.

I'll peel the plastic wrap of later.
