Re: My 55 Chevy 4X4

Started on the bed. I built a 1 3/4 x 3/4 frame out of tube to take the place of the bed wood.

Then I fit a sheet of diamond plate to bolt to the frame. I put the plate over the top of the angled bed rail. The bottom of the angle was a little rusted out. I will add some 1/8 x1" flat bar to the rail then put a new angled rail over everything to cover the gap.

Now I just need to take it all apart finish welding the frame, drill the rest of the mounting holes, and paint it.
