the only thing i got is a vid of my truk(buddies told me i wouldnt hook to the sled, i didnt even knw a kid vidoed it but he told me he posted it on u tube), i never got around to taking pics ,  the box lids were rolled the the shape of a hood on a sa 200, leads were in troughs, i decided it was too long so now im going to build one for my 08 chevy wen i get home of this job, im for shure going to chop the frame on this one to make the bed more stubby
but o well u can kinda get an i diea , plus its a cool vid

hey just wanted to bring this post back up see if anyone had anything new or some more pics   trying to get my bed together looking for ideas  money is tight right now so i ended up yanking the bed off a old one ton i had and i am retro fitting it coming along nicely though
Parent - - By RioCampo (***) Date 04-30-2008 00:58
Got an old J $I bed I retrofitted. I cut out two holes between the truck frame and front body boxes to stand bottles in. Mounted my 200 behind still leaves room to check oil and change filter. Put on a headache rack for my shade to mount to and cut two wells for my leads behind tires. I put 12 inch in the holes to put my leads in. Workd pretty well.
Parent - - By mody454 (**) Date 04-30-2008 01:21
i just mounted some underbody boxes and am in the process of skirting it out  the bed was way to narrow so i am using fenders and i got some 12 inch pipe to round the corners in the back
Parent - - By ibeweldingsum (***) Date 05-03-2008 19:47
well heres an idea my bed is low and clean
Parent - By thewelder (***) Date 05-03-2008 21:20
HI you doing? hey very nice and "handy" bed.
