Ok, a few questions. First off, does anyone know how to do the tilt bed? The trick is, I want mine done with air. Second, has anyone done, or know how to do a diamond tilt suicide hood?

check these two links let me know if thats what ya need




im trying to find the other link

try looking in here as well

i'll be the first jackass to say use hinges on the back of the bed, duh!
diamond tilt hood... as in tilts to one corner, yeah?
you can build a hinge out of tubing (say 1" .125 dom for the outer and 3/4" for the inner) and make it double shear or better, and weld it to the corner of the hood after you cut it, so there's a nice straight edge to build off of.

actually, the bed thing is good, the hood is wrong. the hood would open at the corner, thanks though todd. maybe you can find something else for me

still looking bro

do you understand what I'm talking about though? If I can get over to dragaholic (kevin) house this weekend I will try to scan a pic of one in a MT ad for MIC I think it was like an 01 issue. I will try to get it scanned up to give refrence to. oh yeah, by the way, thanks for lookin out Todd. Did you read your post on the PS1?

here is the link to the hood your talking about for anyone else who wants to see

would you be talking about a purple extended cab, that was in a bunch of MIC ads a few years ago? that one was built in japan i've heard, and if you notice the ext cab has a door...

it looks more like a deep maroon, but yeah
