Looks so good, killer work yall!

I always like a consistent 'look' when modding the floors on these trucks.

I know some do the extra effort w/the 100% flat steel/coated floors & notch cover but I see sooo many pop in just the smooth notch covers on top of the OE floor. For me, maintaining the OE floor this way is the better option.

I did the floors for my RetroRod & my dually similarly.

To each his own. Me personally, and has a Goodguys member, carry on.....words can't describe this truck!

I agree Scoti. I know this shop is truly capable of doing the metal work any way they want. I found it odd that they chose to have a hump in the floor rather than the more aesthetically correct raised bed floor.


Regardless, great work gentleman.

The main reason the whole floor was not raised up.Goodguys wants as much floor space
for luggage when they drive this truck across country.They do not like it when the whole floor is raised and you loose alot of your floor space.There will be a flush mount bed cover going on the bed to.

As always I like to hear all the opinions from all.Keep them coming

To be specific.... this is the exact same reason I did my floors like this.

I wanted as much floor 'space' as possible & I prefer the tubs OE size/height. On my RetroRod, I did a combo of raising the OE floor 4" as well as the notch over the rear 4". My dually is just the notch section (7") since it's still a work truck w/a full depth tool box in the front bed area.

[Scottshotrods]

I agree with you 100%

I have loved all the work on this truck so i hope you don't mind my asking cause i am sure as heck not a body man and i'd also love to win the truck too, in the lower portions of the bed why the angle iron welded in? It kinda looks out of place with the rest of the build, i was thinking maybe something on the bottom side would look a lot cleaner? I must agree on just raising the area for the frame, i think it looks great too.

[Low Elco]

A high end shop here in town did theirs similarly, but hinged the top so you could see the framework. Came out slick, I like it.

Man the truck is coming out awesome Justin and the crew are taking no prisoners.

Good eye!! The channels are not angle iron at all.They are made out of 16 ga sheetmetal for a support for the bed rails.When the panels go onto the inside of the bed you will not see these braces.We will be adding some detailed panels to the bed sides.This entire bed floor will be Line X to.This truck will be used as a truck per (Goodguys).

[Scottshotrods]

We are very happy you all dig the truck.Just wait until you see more of the details on this build.It is just starting!!!

Justin

[Hart_Rod]

I love the way the bed looks! But I'll probably do it the "easy" way and just raise the whole thing on my son's truck.....

That explains it, i didn't notice the inner panels were not there..

[Lolyin58]

Great work. Looking really good!

Yes we did

Justin

[preacher anthony]

I thought so, I was greatly impressed w/ everything I saw even back then. Great work!

[tech@scottshotrods]

Still working on the details for the rear bumper, but so far the roll pan is on and looks great. It's hard to get a good shot of it, but you know what they look like. LOL

[Bomp]

It probably didn't get said so I'll be the first.
You guys do some killer work
If its been said before I apologize. I was too busy drooling over the pics.

[Low Elco]

Can't wait for paint. Is this truck's paint going to be the standard GG scheme?

[Earlthe3rd]

I wish good some high level builds came out with a stance like this..
