LFD's low buck truck build!

[Rokcrln]

Well I took a personal day today While the owner of Lemon Drop was hard at work finishing up the misc block sanding in the shop I was out side working on Low Buck. I finished up the bed welding and then started pulling dents, their sure were alot of them! I thought this bed was rough but not this rough! Well after a few hours of pulling and filling it started to get with the program. I have a few hours left with the long board and then it will be ready for a nice heavy coat of high build primer. Here are a few pics.

How did the bottom of the bed match back up in the rear ?

Sorry this is late but.... So to answer your question if I remember right it didn't! The forward lower edge was longer then the rear most section, so I lined it up from the body line down as I was tacking it together and then trimmed off the extra metal. I think I remember using a straight edge to line it up on one plane then snipped off the extra.

PS. If you lower it enough no one will ever see it if left long
