how is this done?

Just wondering how that indentation was created. Seems like that would be really difficult to do. Plus it runs through the rear tubs too. I know the guys from little shop are on here.

looks like a bead roller to me .

i have never seen this truck so i do not know this to be a fact.

i think its more of a bend then an indentation since the top of the bed rails rolls under now (the top sticks out from the bedsides about 3") its hard to see in the pix though.....Im sure Gump or Lil Shop can answer ur question better......

well... aside from having atleast 500 hours in it id say the bed rails are mostly tubing, with english wheeled, sliprolled corners, the indention is probably a few different pieces that are broke an a sheetmetal brake, or like shannon said could also be bead rolled, then hours upon hours of fitting trimming, welded, and grinding, and about 8 thousand flapdiscs. its bad ass.. .

Thats all bent and rolled no tubing around the top...... Def took some time and those efforts are commendable GREAT JOB LSOH

I didnt see it in person either... it was just my speculation... but fuck, i bet he still has atleast 500 hours in that bed. shit... my hands hurt from even thinking about pushing and pulling trimming ahhh but anyways it a bad ass bed, best looking one Ive ever seen, and will probably be that way for awhile.

its like Kev drew but all one piece till after the roll goes flat then it seams into floor
