Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

got the bed rolled back to right side up..still finding cracks and broke spot welds...still welding...boring boring boring....but your right 67redneck...the other bed would have been a nitemare....

obviously this truck was used as a truck back in the day...I'm guessing that using sideboards have pretty much destroyed the stake pockets so from the getgo I had decided to eliminate the stake pockets and do away with another rust spot..here's the before and after for the middle pocket on one side..im still working on the fit in the pic with the magnets holding the scab piece....I used pieces of the bed rail I had cut off from the bed shortening to replace the middle pockets...
