Well this is going to be my second post on here for my truck. Shes still in the planning stages but she is going to be fun and shes going to be a real pain in the neck. Shes a 65 fleetside currently beige color massive hitch Diamond steel plate bed (they should be shot for that) 230-50 engine (Havent taken her apart to tell which yet) 4 speed standard (not my first pick) 8 lug wheels with drum breaks (thats going to be a fun change) Shes daily driver if i could just get the ignition to be reliable.
Hey, now, don't knock the diamond tread plate! My truck is fitted with aluminum tread plate. While other guys have to park their trucks when it rains, I drive mine freely!
I fully understand the reasoning but hate the idea of making it happen. My plan is to put a custom cover over the bed. Not a snap on soft top though. A good hard top.
Just Use A Very Good Wood Sealer And You Can Be Stylin Year Round, Up Here In Oregon We Only Park Our Rodz For The Rain Because Of Traction Problems. Too Much Horsepower In The Rain Makes For A Slippery Drive.
