Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
After talking with the owner, he wanted a raised panel look, like I have on my 54 bed. His sides were so bad and wavy that we decided to add 14 ga. sheet metal to the outside on panel.
Here metal has been placed for fitting.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
Since panel is close to stake pocket, filler was added now, will be sanded down and then install panel.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
Also before installing panels, decided to extend the stake pocket to tie into running boards.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
Ok folks, let's get to todays post.
While working on the extensions, we got in the new Cadallic taillights, so we cut the hole in the rear stake pocket.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
To get a raised panel look on the inside a long single piece was installed on the panels. These were installed same as the outside panels.
