Its really simple Bro. We just bought some beefy 1/4 door hinges from Lowes and placed them at the back of the frame and welded them in place. But yeah ill get some taken today for ya.

Thanks I really appreciate it. I wanted to see exactly where you attached them cause if I can get enough movement for my bed to swing without hitting the cab I'm for sure gonna do it

you just have to space it between the cab and bed with somethin it should be wide enuff to barely be able to sqeeze ur hand in ..its super ez. just tack the bed to the hinges then test it if its good weld it up ..

Aight, gonna give the devil about two weeks of rest from all the hard work we have done to her. Shes gonna get a new face lift thanks to Jeff and the guys at Kustom Collision and Rods in Marysville. Gonna take it up to them on Saturday and return in 2 weeks to a new truck. Im not certain of the exact paint scheme yet, but do know its gonna be metalic charcole grey, and cherry red. Oh i cant wait.

PS, thanks to the guy who backed into me.

Alright, so everyone can see what the truck used to look like before, but if not, heres a couple of pics.




Now here she is now that she has been Painted. Gotta give thanks to Jeff at Kustom Collision and Rods for bringing my vision to life. I told him the colors and a general idea on the design, and he ran with it and brought it to life. Here are a few shots of it in the shop and the final product.

Great job on the paintwork and on the tilt bed truck is looking sic. You should get some 4x4 bumper caps for the fronts it will help blend the front bumper to fender plus looking head on makes the truck look a little beefier. Oly pick a part has two or three 4x4's.
