i got all the chrome done at Adams Plating company in Lansing, MI. THe quality of the job was wonderfull, but i by no means reccomend them to anyone.... they gave me a inital quote of half of what my auctual bill was when i picked it up, its partially my fault for not asking specific prep questions, but still it was a hastle.
it looks good tho...

ive gotte alittle work done in the past few weekends, i wish i had actually gotten more done, but ill take what i can get.
since i couldnt find a new bed in my price range....i had to try and salvage the one i had. Word of advice, dont stand your bed up on end for any long amount of time....tweaking occurs, and it takes forever to get back to strait.
I knew i didnt want to run any sort of inside to my bed, just a tubing shell and mount it to the frame like that. On the top rails i just flushed up tubing to that when i filled the gap in with welds, it would smooth out flush with the bed top, and give it a nice rounded look on the top side.
again with this, i just want my basic frame installed, then when i take it off the truck and send the frame out for PC i can do all the final welding and tube placment everyware.
But its starting to come back to looking like a auctual truck again.....or atleast the shell of one.
I can now cut off the old mounts for my bed that stick off each side of the rear frame...they were ugly. I like mounting the bed this way because when the bed is off the frame......you cant even tell thare there are any mounts for it anyware...
