Uncle Skip wrote:Steve. A quick question. On the cross member supports for the bed, which way does the slant go.
Short side to the front or short side to the rear?
Thanks mate.

Sent you 2 pm's [sorry they double posted ] This drawing from MAR-K appears to have the long side to the front on forward hump and to the rear on the rear of hump [my chassis is flat.]

Oh, I like them also. A lot. Have them on my 63 F250 Long Flare. Don't think they're wired correctly though.

Will you add a rear bumper?

I like the clean look, but I would worry getting rear ended and damaging the bed.

Steve it looks better with the steps in place. It looked like something was missing without them. Man I love looking at your 65. I can hardly wait till I can restore mine to the point of having a complete paintjob.

I was given a rear bumper w/ brackets, I just have been too busy to go and pick it up, I'll get it first chance I get and prolly install this fall- NOT that I want to, people just don't pay attention and drive/stop too close for comfort.

Thanks, wasn't my choice but that is what the inside colour was so I decided to match it/ keep it as she was originally.
