    thanks david. it's quieter now with the flowmasters on but my camera doesn't pick up the sound very well.

    thanks. the stock grille is already called for. it's going to 74hiluxproject on here.

    so the truck is all wired and ready to hit the road. just gotta get it registered, and i'm figuring out who i'm going to use for insurance since i want $15k coverage on it for now.

    the dead bulb needs to be replaced

    [​IMG]

    my dog had chewed the stock tail lights and the wire was gone right at the base. i took the light sockets apart and soldered new wires in

    [​IMG]

    my aftermarket harness doesn't have seperate turn wires, so now brake, turn, run all goes thru the center red lense

    nice work

    Nice work once again. You put a lot of time into your projects and it shows. I saw this VW on a web site and thought how nice that fold down bed side looked. If I ever get as good as you with metal work I might just go for it.Best Viral Pics of The Week Compilation - Galleryyou gotta go thru those pics to find it.

    the bed mod would be fairly easy on a 69-88 yota since they have the 3 piece bed sides and the split is at the floor line.

    getting the bedsides together

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    made a piece that allows a stock looking radius to the front of the bed

    [​IMG]

    removed the old wheel well bodylines

    [​IMG]

    they'll be fit into the new bedsides

    [​IMG]

    i like the look. it's still strange to me since i'm used to seeing the rail.
