Cool pic! At first glance it looks like your parked before a line of fire!

I picked it up at U-Pull. It was on a '73 Chevy. I had to drill two holes at the rear of my frame for it to bolt on. It uses two bolts up front, and two at the rear.

I was wondering how long you were gonna hold out before posting. It's quite a different look than that old box but its really cool especially in the day light.

you need to cut about 3 feet off the back and 8" off the top.

I would do the body lift and leave the bed where it is, it looks a bit tall.

After thinking about it for a few minutes I wanna shorten up the wheel base 8"-12". Cut the bed and frame to just behind the leaf spring mount (after installing 63" springs of course). I've also been thinking of cutting the rack off the bed and making it a bolt-on. So that when I need it (like hauling loads of 2x4's, tubing for bumpers, etc.) it's only a few bolts away.

Also after moving the axle forward, I'd cut the bedsides and do like so many flatbed's I've seen and do a raised section for wheel well's.

If your gonna cut it you should make a rack perminent behind the cab and then pockets or bolt on the rest of the rack when needed.
