You can compliment if you feel it is better suited too.




This is simple mock up but pretty much the final product. The bottom line of the bed is bent up slightly hence why the slightly larger gap. They will be blacked out but fit is about dead on.

Looks different..To each his own..My neighbor (some retired old dude) told me "All you need now is some side pipes" ....."they would look ****" after I got my truck back from paint...I think once the whole theme comes together they will look really good(with tounge firmly planted in cheek..lol..j/k)

Been putting in some more hours on the HD.
Who the hell needs 5" of frame!


The frame has a bulge in it at the top right of this picture. After cutting out the inside frame I cut a filler piece and welded it in. The rest of the circle is tight to the frame(about 75% of the hole).


I plan to replace about a one inch arch of the hole on the outside of the frame because there isn't allot of the frame left. It is boxed at the location I made the hole but being it is such a high stress area i want to make sure to more then over build it. Filling in part of the hole will also let me have a third mounting point for the side pipe. The inside of the hole needs to be open because my flex pipe will be in this hole(reason for it so big) and it needs room to move. After filling part of the hole I will determine if i need a small gusset on he outside of the frame again to make 100% sure it is built to take at least twice the stress it will ever see.
