It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

if you get a new bed you should just repaint the whlole truck lol I think I am gonna do mine black. I picked up those doors last night. I called you to see if you wanted to go with me. But you didnt answer. Dude it sucked, my truck had a really hard time keeping up on the free way and I got a ticket for no front license plate. It really sucked.

How about these? My first attempt. Still need to finish fill and sand, then paint. Relocated latch to bottom rear inside.

It ain't worth doin' if you don't have to clean up afterwards!

Build it, break it, fix it, repeat until your wallet is empty.
