The small bell is still in good shape but the large bell. I was down in my field and got a good size ditch I went thru, the bell drug the ground coming out and it lined up perfect with the hitch, it got smashed flat, knocked the clinker inside out. My kids named my truck "Bell", need to pick up some new ones, maybe stainless, the current ones have been there for almost 5 years! They are a bit rough!!
I like the bed but need to do something about the side boxes in the bed, new doors that don't leak would be nice, hinges that don't sieze up. I'm tossing around building a bed but I'm also thinking about a plasma cutter, cutting off the headache rack and bottle box then starting over with a bottle rack that's low profile, this way I can get my back panel off the welder easier, kinda hard to check the oil daily the way it is. I've also thought about knotching the bed ahead of the wheels and dropping it down with an open space underneath. I've looked at my drain plug and am wondering how in the heck will I change the oil without a huge mess! I've done rough calculations on building a new bed and how much it will weigh and how much my current bed weighs and spending the money for a new one I'm only gonna shave off a 100lbs or a bit more, but not enough to justify the cost. Just need to coordinate the having money and having a week to do all of this uninterrupted. About the time I get the welder off the truck and make the first cut the phone will start ringing off the hook!! LoL!
