This what I was driving last summer.

Spider caps are cool. I would love a set. But to much money.. I bought the bullet caps for $29 with shipping and they look cool in their own way... Again I am working on a very limited budget..

Your truck is looking SICK!! Perfect stance...I dig the PBR stuff. The shift knob, the tool box, the key chain, I love it!! That's a good idea using the fence boards for the bed. I've been looking for ideas the re-do the wood in my '62 on a budget. I like the fleetside taillights too! Very nice!

Redsean, I know Dan.. He is a good dude and I love his style. I cant wait to catch up this summer can see what he will be working on next.

Underneath the fence boards was a painted to match plywood bed. I went so low on the static drop that we had to cut a hole for the pumpkin. Just in case I hit a big bump or had a small load. I screwed the fence boards right down on top of the plywood.. Cheap and Easy floating bed.

And for you HARLEY GUYS. If you like the Apes. I build them. We have a expensive hydraulic bender that we bought and bend/powder coat and chrome custom apes. Along with making custom other parts. Hit me up and I will give you the info.. They are strong/one piece and very affordable.

The previous owner had just attached a plywood bed in place of the original wood one.. As seen the above picures we had to cut a hole in the plywood bed floor for that extra inch of clearance. So.. I decided to be cheap and buy 8ft cedar fence boards cut them down and use finishing washers and black 1 5/8 wood screws to attach the cedar board on top of the plywood.. Total cost $35 bucks at Home Depot!!! Who knew they sold truck parts..
