the table is made out of 2x6 and there is 2 sheets of 7/16 plywood on top of that. plus there is bracing every foot so that the plywood doesn't sag.

the garage is 26 wide by 28 deep and has a 9 ft ceiling

well the plan as of now is to cut the top off what is left of the stock frame before the a-arms and were the bag mounts. then run the 2x3 tubing up to that point and weld the stock frame to the tubing. then just plate it in to make a nice smooth transition.

[bdydrp18]

well i got a lot done over the past two weeks. got all my piece cut and in place. also got the rails all welded out and for the most part smoothed out. start to cut and weld on all the fish plates for most of the joist. hopefully this week i can get all the fish plate welded on and get the transition for stock frame to new frame done. also have to flip the frame over and weld all the bottom seems up











and here is a picture of the fish plates that i putting on as many joints as i can

[toddluck]

HOLY CHRIST!!, Dude this truck is SICK, can't wait to see the finished product, you def know what your doing, and I have mad props for you attempting all of the work yourself. The overall outcome so far is amazing! It's guy's like you that make mini truck building so respectable! So, one question are you going to completely rebuild a new bed, and if you do are you going to section it again, or are you just going to run a slightly modfied stock bed, and leave it the stock length? Once again, MAD PROPS!!!!

dam first off thanks alot!! it is nice to know that people like what i'm trying to do. to answer the first question yes i'm going to be rebuilding the whole bed. just going to start with two bed sides and build the rest. next question: yes i'm going to resection the bed. the new frame has already been shorten the 5" that the bed was section. third question: not sure to tell you the truth. it all depends on what i can do with the motor. if i can get the motor in low enough then i would like to only make the hood a little modified. like have a small cowl or something, but the all depend on the way the motor sits and all the clearances that i need around it.

once again thanks for the props!!!!!
