Thanks, all.
Panels are from Premier Metal Crafters [Kim Stewart] out of Richfield, Utah. They are fantastic! 12 gauge over original 16. Very very happy with the quality and price, about a 2 week lead time, fenders and tailgate from DC thru Chucks Trucks in Hamden, Ct. I am changing out the front panel [smooth] to original style from MAR K should be in Tuesday. Not really fond of the smooth one as it is set up tp go on the outside overlapping stake pocket lip. The only thing I really have to do is drill out all opposing holes as Kim builds these to be plug welded.
I do have more info, ie: phone pricing etc. if anyone is interested.

Nice looking F250 4x4 looks good as it sits. Will look great with the bed in place. One day when my garage is open again I will get back on my 63.

The bed looks great Steve! Thats gonna be even better painted and even better....in person! I hope my bed is that clean some day. Just one question...does it look high in comparison to the cab lines or am I just crazy?
Either way still looks awesome! I'll be representing the slicks tomm. in putnam, I hope to see a few more. I will try and take some pics and post them tomm night.

8' Flare-sides are taller, but yeah, I kinda thought the same. Maybe I'm just used to the 6 footer on Rusty.supersmitty wrote:The bed looks great Steve!

Did you climb on the roof of your house for those pictures? Or just a big ladder? Looking great!

The bed is taller on the longbeds, I originally had [see first pic] the supports mounted to the frame, basically flush, then I put the rear plate on and the indent for the floor was up 2" from the supports, raised them up [blocked] 2". The top roll is right at my chin, but I looked in some books I've got and it IS supposed to be that high.-I love it.
I took pics from my deck- hate ladders.
Thanks for all you thoughts.
Josh you should be able to see it at the ATCA show.

Your 250 has tons of character. It is a very handsome truck. I have been wanting to make one of the ATCA shows for several years now, but it is a long way from Central Texas up there. The year 2012 ATHS convention will be in Springfield Mass. I plan on being there if the Lord is willing, so may be I will see you there too.

I hope I always stay crazy, because I know if I ever become sane, it will drive me crazy.

The only problem I had, was the tailgate would not go into the opening, sides are square, measured out [seems] ok, so I un bolted sides from rear pan and added 1 washer per each 8 bolts and tightened up, added just enough space and gate works as it should.
The space will be filled with body seam sealer and it'll be fine.
The chains , drilled holes as per my sample/donor bed, but the bolt falls shy about a 1/4" to go thru the front side of the pocket, went to the local True Value looking for a certain nut [simular to a door lock button], but didn't have any. I have some avenues to check Monday.
