Re: '50 chevy 3100
Haven't actually done much lately. With school starting up I've been a bit tired lol 22 7 year olds are a handful!
Yesterday I moved the bed to behind the truck. Setting it up on jack stands and stuff. If you remember, the stake pockets were welded over for a smooth look by a PO. I marked the holes and drilled a hole through each one. I then used a jigsaw to make an X.
Once I had drilled the holes I noticed the metal the PO filled the holes with was twice as thick as the bed metal. So I grabbed a pair of channel locks and thought that if I bent the X pieces back and forth... that they would break on the weak point of where the thicker metal met the thinner metal.
It worked so I did them all that way! Pockets need a little touch up but not bad for 20 minutes worth of work.
