Your truck project has come along nicely! A wood bed is going to look good.

Its been awhile since we’ve got to see you working on this rig. Love the fabrication (and accompanying explanation of the how and why) of the bed. Wood is going to be a very cool, unique look! Can’t wait to see more!

Yes sir! We should be continueing this series on the 66 through the spring. Due to other projects work on this guy had to wait.

I like how you have a window open showing you working

[@left2rot615]

Thank you.

[@Billestlà]

Real nice work!

[@jacobloukojarvi2893]

Looking good! I'm glad the bed on my 66 is pretty solid

[@left2rot615]

Thank you. I wish this one would have been as solid as the rest of the truck.

It looked like it was a right hand drive in earlier video but it’s quite obviously a left hook !!!

[@left2rot615]

Thats just a function of the camera. Some shots i have used my phone for and out of convenience used the forward facing camera.

I am loving your video's man ..They have been a big help as I will be picking up a 1966 f350 in 1 week same color as yours too !! lol I love the rims and tires you have what are they ? Keep the great video's coming and thanks for sharing the info ..

[@left2rot615]

I hope you have as much fun as i do with you 66 when you get it. The wheels are similar to the bart racing steel wheels. These we bought locally and we had them blasted and powdercoated. They are a 15×8 and i will have to get back with you on the tire size. Tha ks for the comments and following along. Hopefully i will have the next segment up by the end of the week.

@@left2rot615 way cool brother.. Thanks again from Canada

[@bass.fishing333]

Just curious if you bought a wood floor kit or if you milled it yourself. I’m looking to do the same to my 66

[@left2rot615]

I purchased the wood from a local lumber supply and cut it all myself on a table saw. The hardware was sourced from bed wood and cut to fit.
