I do like Alan's silver frame though, but that's the only one other than black that I've ever though twice about.

I'm anxious to see how it comes out. The POR-15's satin black is actually flat black. I would think Eastwood's paint would be the correct satin black.

Me too. I need to get my cherry picker back from my Stepfather to lift the cab and bed off. Nothing will happen before that. I'll fit the gas tank in and I might get the bed floor raised a few inches if I can come up with the money for a wood floor. I'm looking for cheap wood options at the moment.

Have you thought about a steel bed from a donor bed? Or I just saw a bed made of 5 or 6" tubes shaped like this l___l. It looked trick.

I eventually want to put wood in it so I'm thinking I need something with the same thickness to hold it's place till I can afford the wood that I want. Maybe some cheap wood that I can just replace at some point.
