It has just hit me that, with the roof off, i'm looking right at the correct and easy way to swap that inner panel to convert to a BBW. have a couple leads for just a panel, and i'm on the hunt! I saw the kit that you do welding and everything from inside the cab, but drilling the spotwelds would be easier for me, no one would see them as the rubber and roof hide it all, and i have all the rubber out! I was on the fence converting it, but i have so many options on this truck (OD 4 spd, tach, vacuum gauge, AC, trailer brake controller, glove box light) that it seems a shame not to have the most desirable option (BBW). I know i have a long bed, and a lot of guys prefer the short, but i love the long on this body style. We'll see how those leads come through.
