They are pretty cool! What kind of condition is the cab in, as in rust? And do you have any plans for some sort of a headache reck/ front and rear bumpers?

alright guys here is the pipe work in mid progress, and finished on the flat bed. I know its big but its really sturdy to. If you want a better view of it just ask and ill put up some more pics.

The cab only had one rust hole in the floor board and i just cut it out and patched it with some stainless and poprivites. everything else is in really good condition for setting out in the pasture for the last four years.

looks good, should have been a tad narrower but looks good

looks like you have plans for that flatbed being used for more than holding a fullsize spare

DTB · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 09, 2006, 06:06:41 PM »

no the bed sits higher that the stock wheel wells did so unless i run a HUGE tire with not enough lift i shouldn't hit

i wanted to dove tail the bed but my dad had other plans so we just went with no dovetail

rednk1980 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 11, 2006, 09:40:14 AM »

I finished the flatbed. here are some pics of the final result. the only thing im missing is the spare tire carrier, ill figure that out later. My next project is to build the front bumper.

The flat bed cam out good

rednk1980 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 11, 2006, 07:55:37 PM »

Got the bumper built today it turned out better than i thought is would my winch fits perfectly into it without any trouble. The only problem is i have no where to mount my front liscense plate, and i have to cut some of the grill out to accomodate the winch box.

Looks good! Keep up the good work.

Here are some pics of the flatbed and bumper after they had been powder coated. I hammer coated them. it looks pretty cool.

What are you using for tube and a bender? I want to do something similar with my flat bed.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 12, 2006, 09:15:07 AM »

Its called a nascar bender i think, i barrowed it from the guy who did all the powder coating. Ill ask him and get back to u. Its one that u bolt into the ground where u bend the pipe around a die with a monster 10' cheater bar.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 12, 2006, 09:32:22 AM »

the bender we used kinda looks like this. if thats any help this is where i found it: http://www.medfordtools.com/mb3.html

Looking good. For the lic plate, go get one of those hinged plate holders, like you see hanging on the front bumper of semi's! You can get them in stainless and 1, 2 or 3 plates wide! Or just zip tie it to your stinger!

rocktoy83 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 12, 2006, 02:12:52 PM »

That is one sweet front bumper that you built

Ill try that thanks

I like your bumper, the bends are clean and it looks very strong. Have you towed anything with the stinger or used your winch yet to make sure it is sturdy?
I may have to go out and get one of those benders.

yeah i had to have yotamckimboy4x4 tow me out of a hole when i blew my timing chain last week. Everything seems to still be true nothing bent or broke and it was a 3 mile tow out. As for the winch i've only used it once but for the most part it seems to stay put. The winch plate and the bumper are two different pieces that bolt together as well as to the frame
