Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
Dropping the bed; I started by cutting the bed floor in the rear followed by taking 2 inches out of the front. I drilled out the spot welds on the front of the bed releasing the bed sides. Then I measured 2inches down from the inside of the top of the rail and folded it inside, dropping it 2 inches.
I still have a ton of welding to do on the bed, I need to weld in a notch cover. I'll be hitting this hot and heavy for the next 6 months so that hopefully I can get it ready for next show season.
