I picked up this 1980 long bed from its original owner last week. I wasnt really looking for a project but I couldnt pass it up.
Its going to get lots of tube work

and links. I have not decided on axles engine or anything else yet.

Got a little more done today. The floor was rusted out so just removed it all. Its now sitting on the chassis table. Im going to build a 2" round tube sub frame and the rest of the tube work will be 1.75". Links front and rear with rear trailing arms.

The front is a Rockjock HP Dana 60 and the rear is a Dana 60. These arent the axles that Im going to use. These are for another build, I just havent pulled them off the table. I have Ruff Stuff Toyota housings so I will probably end up using them for this build.

The 2" DOM sub frame is all done and attached to the cab. I welded fish plates to the inside of the cab for the tube to tie into.
