JPWH 6,276 #278 Posted March 22 (edited) I got the bed on the frame so I could see what I need to build for support. The bed is rusted so bad I will probably only use the sides. Edited March 23 by JPWH 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to taking a ride on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,276 #281 Posted March 30 I started on the process of repairing the dump bed. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,276 #282 Posted April 27 This bed probably should have been scrapped but I just couldn't do it. Some of it will be but not all. I straightened the side panels and cut the too far gone parts away. Lots of character still left (Dents). I had some metal bent to add back some height and give some structure for the bottom to connect to. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,276 #283 Posted Sunday at 11:31 PM The top of the bed sides were bowed, bent, and the angle was not consistent so I spent a few hours getting them straightened out. I bought the metal for the bottom frame and ordered the sheet metal to replace the bad ends I had to cut out. I'm not ready for days of this type of work yet so I just do a little at a time. Hopefully I have some progress pictures in the next week or so. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
