Wow, you've been busy. Looks fantastic, custom with "original" look. That's gonna look great on your truck.

Thank you! The bed had to be that height because it is on a 1996 Dodge Dakota chassis.

Thank you! Amazing how long it takes to complete these projects. Working on the tailgate now. It is "different"...lol

For sure. I'll admit I was beginning to worry when we haven't heard from you in a little while. Now I see why. I'm sure the gate will be awesome too.

I had a few catch up items to do before I started the bed. I wanted everything on the front to be completely done first...so, I rebuilt the 5 speed manual transmission, it needed a couple of gears and new syncros, installed electrically operated exhaust dumps just after the headers and raised the seat 3 inches, which really helped the comfort and sitting position. A few others small items, so it's all done and on with the bed. Not much to show and tell about those.
As always, thanks MACGIVER for your praise and encouragement!

Always happy to talk to you and looking forward to seeing another KB going faster and looking good on a Dakota chassis! lol
