Attached are a couple pictures of a "mock up" boxside that I carved out of foam in hopes of what I envisioned to do (this was at the start of the project) I always felt the original stepside box and the almost "trailer" type rear fenders did not fit the style of the front half of the truck at all.
Initially, I added a lower body style line that would have flowed with a somewhat hidden running board below the door. As I mentioned, I later removed the running board idea completely and extended the door down instead. I don't know if I would have still done the lower body line (which I like) and eventually maybe added a "faux" body line on the bottom of the door and into the front fender opening or just removed it and had the bottom of the box without a body line like I initially did the doors?!? This is a very quick and crude sketch I did at the start (before carving the foam box) it helped give an idea of what I thought might look good. Here is a picture of the rolling chassis This is a picture trying to help show the fender to cab jamb separation seam that I came up with. All flush and hidden mounting. I'm not sure if I added this pic earlier in the thread, but I just like the looks of the project here!

What type of foam do you use looks like you get a nice finish with it.

That bed is what should have been factory in the first place. Suits the cab perfectly.

I don’t know how I missed this thread but what a great build and a real shame you didn’t get to finish it. I have to say though, I’m as intrigued by the table it’s being built on as the pickup itself. Was it home built or a commercially manufactured one? I’d definitely like to find out a bit more about it.

Fantastic stuff.
I was thinking to make a smooth firewall for my project, but after seeing this, I've changed my mind. |

I see it everyday, but can’t think of the brand right now. I’ll try to remember when I’m there on Monday. Quote:

Awesome work Dane. You are a real craftsman, and being self taught makes it even more impressive.
You must have a nice dry climate as there was a lot of bare metal and not a tinge of rust anywhere

Thank you very much! We have pretty decent weather as far as humidity. Hard to say “decent” when we’ve had weeks of below 0 temps down to -20 F. for days on end recently. Obviously in the winter the air is really dry, in the summer we often have the doors closed and the A/C on when it gets too hot & humid.
