I apologize, I didnt realize it was missing all the numbers.
Im assuming it would be costly to find the stuff to complete it.
Just let it go I guess...
Thanks a lot for your time!
As for the one on Ebay, got a auction # or link?
I posted this before, but in this pic you can see the spacer/riser blocks used on the frame. Maybe that will give you an idea of what was done. Its really very very straightforward.
The biggest thing when I tried to hire this done, was everyone wanted to weld the bed. If you notice, the...
Thanks a bunch guys.
I wish I had more pics, but alas my wife was in charge of running the camera, and I ended up with like 3 pics of the build, and 300 pics of our son and dog...

Here is the truck before I started:

Without typing a book:
I removed the 5th wheel, ramps, and headache rack. Also removed the air lines to the glad hands, and the mudflaps and fuel tank guards.

Thanks for the kind words.
Im not sure about the WWII Mack...Im sure others can help there.

Wut?
Maybe I missed it, but I think you need more ramming/pushing/destruction/construction, something.
I like the flashing light though...maybe Im part bird or something... :-D
Well, I bought a 14 footer off ebay (used the link to the # supplied earlier in the thread.)
Now, according to a few folks, all I need to do is pull the front down too far, and that will leave the rear only slightly too long...
:?
At least it is OD canvas, so it will match the top of the...
Well all doors are closing.
The only thing available as of now is either TAN (200-300 dollars), or New Canvas, (678.00), or 14' long, for cheap.
Do you guys think I can either fold back or cut the 14 footer and make it work without a lot of BS?
I already have canvas end curtains.
Do you...
Can anyone look at the bed in my AVATAR and tell which bed this is? ..my stupid rear left this morning and didnt measure it again.
