Re: 67 long box

other side is done, now to reassemble the sides to raise the tailgate hinge point. I hate the look of that step between raised bed and tailgate, so I'm going pivot the gate 2" higher. I hope...

Re: 67 long box

Frame blasted and ready for paint tomorrow. While that's drying I think I will just relax and watch it dry. Time for a pop.
