Got the right side stitched in today; still need the shear plates, but the big sections are in and look goooooooooood!  :eyebrow:  Let me just say that using cardboard templates is always a great idea.
I'm going to fab up some front spring mounts tomorrow and prep shock tabs for Wednesday or Thursday; have to chop off what's on the axle first. I'd like to do some mods to the carb but that may wait until the truck is a complete vehicle again.

Just a few pics from today:

The vertical 'welds' are filler for the cut-off disc (took off front bed mounts), not structural:


Not my best welding, I was upside-down and jacked up on Mt Dew:


Welded on the inside:


Welded on the outside too:


I'd like to hose the inside with undercoating or some sort of rust-proofing when this is all done.

Anyways... :goodnight:
