Yup, I remember that, that was before I figured out what was going on. Offer still stands to swap it out!
Everything looks so great in your truck, the tailgate lid should too.

Thanks for the offer, but honestly, it is not necessary. The truck gets a lot of use in the desert and Baja, and between that and the dogs a new lid would be a waste. Functionality is more important than the perfect looks, and it works just fine.

cheers,
Jan

Man o man, I am impressed as well. This is a thing of beauty, must remember to come back here to steal these ideas when doing mods. Really nice stuff Kevin.

Simply amazing, i will refrain from "window comments" , whet did you use for the padding on top of the storage area? how did you assemble it all?

Kevin has a 60 body to find for replacement, so we might get a chance at a bunch of detail/rebuild pics in the coming months.

He's been talking about replacing the body for a while. He find something out in Oregon?

Windows, ah the windows........

The box has a toper of upholstery foam, firm, standard stuff.
I glued that to sheets of 1/4" plywood, wrapped some remanent upholstery fabric around them and stapled it in place on the back. Pretty standard low-grade upholstery work.
The plywood panels are held in place with some slotted key-hole style screw and hole sets. A flat head screw in the case top registers with a keyhole slot in the thin plywood backer, set it over it, slip it into place and it's locked there until it needs to come out for work or cleaning.

Yup, just need to get a body now that I'm out of that damn salt! Don't care what it looks like, as long as it's not rusty.
Can't wait!

That was one of the main reasons we moved! My poor rusty old truck......
Still gathering options for the swap, have been so busy with other stuff there's not been any time to look into it.
Hope the move went well for you guys.

Take some detail shots of the current body. Maybe someone will find a screaming deal out of sympathy.

The move was long, but good. How was your move? The trailer was huge and you had to drive much further. Have any pictures of the rig on moving day?

Simply an amazing 60.
