Remember, the idea here was to build a truck for no cash outlay.
Now, I needed to shorten the park brake cables. Tractor Supply cable clamps are under a dollar each. Works great. Just overlap and lash them together.
The stepside bed, being a Craiglsist score for 75 bucks had rotted wood in the bed floor of course. New wood is expensive. New flat plate steel is expensive.
Old long bed floor was just laying in my scrap pile. A little measuring and layout and some more metal cutting blades in my circular saw and we had something I could work with for no money invested.
Since I like low trucks, I did a hillbilly flip kit. These spring saddles were 13 dollars per pair from Summit. After setting the pinion angle, I burned them permanently in place with the trusty old Lincoln stick welder.
Looks horrible doesn't it ? It officially looks worse than when I started and it was bad then.
