How in the world did I miss this thread until now?!?

I just "finished" my 23 year project. Over the 4th of July week I slung the "new" bed in place.

One piece at a time.
And it didn't cost me a dime...

529 Med. Blue-green poly.
I got it as a mutt. I further muttified it with a new engine, transmission, transfer case, and different (straighter) bed. It was a solid color 1970 built 529 cab and bed on a 1971 K10 chassis that some cowboy in the state of Wyoming cobbled together in the 80s. I painted the cab roof white. I procured a paintable front bumper off the '72 Blazer that donated the tranny and transfer case. The rear paintable bumper came from too much stuff when my 16 year old was around 4. da-burb sold me the pretty darn straight tailgate out of his stash about 15 years ago. The build sheet tells me the cowboy that assembled it before I got it used 1968 golden anniversary interior. That is all I can think of off the top of my head.
