    4x4 M105 bed cover

    Weller, thanks. I once bought a salvage bridge that was claimed to be 90 ton. It was maybe 70....so I understand having stock of supplies, especially steel. I cut mine to 24" (-3") and put clear yellow pine inside them, 1 9/16"x 1 1/8" with rounded corners. I'm getting 1.5" x 2.0" steel...

    4x4 M105 bed cover
