90excab BD - project GetBY.. bed repair started..

that's still my old tail lights.. haven't put the ones from you in.. been working on the interior more.

Jrock personally I prefer a bed to be close to stock, but i don't really want to start from scratch, i plan to repair things right now. Btw, wasn't worried about you, but you just never know about them internets.. lol

Yeah I know buddy I was just yanking your chain dude....well it will be about the same amou of work to fix that bed as to section 4 inches Out of a brand new bed and raise the floor in it

Yeah, I don't really dislike the work done to this bed.. just if I were starting from scratch its not what I would do.. Its a ways down the road, inner fenders in the front are more of a concern right now.. Since the rear main is leaking and I am planning to pull the engine to fix it this winter.. might as well do the inner fenders too.. while I have plenty of room..

Hey bring the truck by so I can look at where the floor was cut. For reference.

You can't see it now that I wrapped it with the ghetto sound deadening. I will still try to swing by sometime. Maybe Sunday if weather permits.

Cool I might have a 3 day weekend so the body drop is going to start if I do.

Well I was requested to post up some pics of my old mazda.. this is my old bagged truck.. bagged on the bars.. rather than make another thread I figured I would just post in my build thread.. this one was an 89.. had no interior in it when I bought it.. had a 2 link bar setup with a toyota rear end in it.. and the front bag setup was done wrong.. this is all pictures after.. a couple friends of mine did the rear setup and I just helped as I did not have a place good enough to do it at the time... here you go.. I would like to redo my current truck with a rear setup like this some day.. but maybe switch to toyota rearend..

And here is one of my yota... I tried to find pics of my hydraulics .. but I couldnt.. I did find pics of my first mazda my 87 convertible but I couldnt get the scanner to work.. and honestly didnt feel like fooling with it.. so here is my 89 yota..



now I am actually heading out to the garage to work on the truck for an hour or so.. then off to bed.. got to work tomorrow.. love being salary!!

Wow, a traverse 4 link? Don't see those very often. What made em go that route?

It was what we knew how to do. And it ws about 9 years ago. It worked great, solid rode well.
