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.

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...

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.

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!
Needs the tips brazed on and some work before BA powder coating gets it, but heres the mockup.
GF suggested some cool details which I'll add later.
