well, it's all welded up now. still have to completely weld up the bed rails and do some bodywork on the rails. other than that, little bit more welding on the bed floor and some grinding, seam sealer, bed liner, and it's pretty much done! except for the back part. still dont know if im shaving the rear so some progress may appear later on for the rear.

Umm I noticed in the other pictures, your gas filler neck was straight up where you covered, where is it now? lol your gunna need that

^ haha yea. for now it's pointed back. Baha has a gas door im gonna look at when i get back up to atlanta. so im gonna hold out on cutting anything down here

but yes it's going to get rhino lined. don't really want to go through all the bodywork if i paint it. just gonna do bodywork on the bedrails. it's my daily and it'll probably get used a good bit, even though 3/4 of it is shallow.

reason i did it this way is because when i bodydrop, the bed mounts are going to be channeled. so i had to compensate for the 3inches on top of the notches. that's why the back is high.

i really wish i would have cut the whole bed floor when i first bagged it and went ahead and bodydropped the bed, pretty much like what robbie did. i really like his. just trying to work with what i have now i guess

How are you going to get access to your spare and air tank if you need to? Looks good.

right now, when you let the tailgate down, it's open. im gonna make an access panel. to where pretty much the whole rear will flip up.

but the airtank, im out of luck. i'd have to jack it up somehow since all the fittings are off to the side and bottom. or take the bed off
