2012 projects...
 

I'm trying to get my truck ready for April 8th...and I'm stressin'!
I'm taking my stress out on these projects I've been wanting to do.

First is this cover.

It needs a bit of polishing.

Also started my bed mounted spare holddown...its about half done.

That cover is cool, where do you get one?

Get one? I made it. The mounts were carved (literally) from bar stock and the top is cut from 3 inch wide sheet.

Wait'l ya see what the 'ol dog's gonna cut up next...:birgits_tiredcoffee

Very nice! All of my spring projects have been house projects and they are so expensive I have no money for truck projects.

I understand...If I had money I would not be cutting up scrap to build truck parts...I have too much to do in the house but we are making progress...and I bought a new bed, which ate up most of my refund, and everything else.
For instance, the spare holder started out as a 5.00 garage sale bicycle bought and scrapped last fall...

Man thats awesome! Very nice work

Built a "hub adapter" for my spare holddown so I can mount my factory chromies in the bed. Yes...the round part is from an old hub bearing.

Very nice Al, the finished product will be tits






Story of my life. I knew I should have either bought a much smaller house or rented until I was happy with my cars

After fixing the toilet and and rebuilding a shepherds hook for my tomatoes this is what I got done so far.

Welded the ears on my mounting bolt and holesawed the bed and crossmember. Of course the all thread must mean...I've got things fitted!
