Re: Frankentruck

Got the sides and header panel mocked up today.
I'm getting real excited now about it.

On the header panel, I've decided to use the 67-72 one. The panel from the 65 bed is rusted through on the bottom and I would have to figure out some way to space it. The 69 ish one has a decent bottom flange, fits much better, and is the right height.

My plan is to cut the top corners from the 65 panel, then weld them to the 69 so that it is the same width all the way across. Hopefully the weather will be dry soon so that I can weld it up. The driveway is a little wet from the rain so I don't want to risk getting zapped
