thanks man. definitely keep it and build it. these things are awesome! i love the old school.
look into your local laws for the bed thing. i called an inspection place to see what all i needed to get an inspection sticker and all they told me was that the taillights have to be hard mounted (no bailing wire) and the license plate has to have a light. that was it. but your local laws may require something different.
hey dev, here is a pic next to the building i was talking about. i am going to get ahold of the people that own it and see what's up.
