Installed bed and strips

Heavily modified truck box /  fuel tank cover. Note tools of trade below. AKA sledge-o-matic. It looks like I will have a total of 45 inches of bed space. Wohoo almost 4 feet of bed! I could carry a laptop, some tools, a gallon of water, and maybe even some groceries. LOL

New bed wood

Got wood for the bed. Using 3/4" oak plywood. had to cut the steel strips to fit the custom bed length. I got lucky and 2 holes lined up in each strip. Also lucky to have extra strips. For some reason after 50+ years the strips were rusted I broke a few of the bolts but able to save quite a few.

Also installed clear brake and turn signal assemblies. I'm using red bulbs for the brakes and amber for turns signals.
