run supports across the back to tie in the bedsides and keep them from trying to seperate. tie the two supports together with two angled pieces to strengthen them. i use 1X1 for my supports. also you can run a support across the bottom of your skin and weld it to the under side of the skin rite at the bottom and tie it into the sides of the bed to keep your skin from getting ripped off. dont have any pics but they are very easy to put on. take your time and space your welds and remember grinding can warp the metal to so watch the heat.

good luck

dont it fit perfectly tight to the bedsides...if you do you will grind off all your weld and its gonna crack,leave a small gap so you got something to fill in and stay there after its ground down...

thanks for the tips all are helpful! would like ome pics

you definitly need supports, i would use some square tubing to reinforce the skin about every 8-10 inches so if you back into a pole or something you dont cave the whole thing in.

yeah i plan on supporting it with 1x1 square tubing i just wanted to see time pics
