Truck bed day 4

[jon f mn]

Got a late start because I was pouting about having to redo the headache rack, plus had to go to the feed mill and menards first. Then pouted some more and took a nap in my recliner. LOL. Anyway, got started on the truck about 2 this afternoon. Redid the headache rack first. Like this a bunch better.

Got that done then spent a bunch of time with a grinder cleaning up. Kinda satisfied with the final product.

After that was done I worked on the wiring. Bought some new wire and it is total crap, flex it much at all and it just cracked. So guess another trip to town for more wire. Hopefully I get that done tomorrow.

Will there be a trap door to access the gooseneck hitch?

What would you guess the difference in weigh between the two beds?

Hard to say, but likely 1000lbs.

As with your wire I replaced the power steering cooler and lines on my truck about 1.5 years ago. The rubber hoses failed a couple weeks ago, just bend them and they cracked everywhere.

Got safety chain connections?

How about your trailer lights truck side outlets for tag and gooseneck?

Got all that, just not installed yet.

License plate mount?

One of those offroad led bar lights on top of the headache rack rack?
Maybe a rear facing cargo light up there too. Or make the bar light flippable.

Looks awesome!
