Finished welding bed supports , removed floor bracing and cleaned up some spot welds. A lot to go.
Great work. How many hours do you think you’ll have in the bed when you’re done?

If I had to do it over I think I would buy one, but will have about 1k into this bed so thats something to consider. I guess I also like the challenge.
Where would you buy one? I’m trying to figure out if an s10 floor is the way to go. It’d be nice if the short beds were available.

I built a new LP bed had about 200 hours with no body work they are an incinerator for time if you take your time and build it right and figure in for no warpage. What the hell I have more time than $money

Is there any reason to keep these? Are they available new? Im leaning towards filling holes and deleting.

They could be wall art?
Yes available new, Koito body reflectors - https://cruiser-cult.myshopify.com/collections/40-series/products/koito-body-reflectors
Those are possiably Stratolite reflectors which I think you can still get new or used.
I like the clean look without reflectors.
Amazing job on the bed BTW.
I’ll take them if you’re going to toss them.
They are still available new:
Koito body reflectors
New Koito body reflectors for your 1960s FJ40! We have red for the rear (sides and back). We also have amber reflectors that are perfect for use on 1968/69 FJ40s. The amber ones can be dissected and the reflector can be inserted into the now NLA OEM mount found on the late 60s fender aprons...

I guess I was typing it at the same time as @tahoe40/45.
