Well we will start from the beginning...A while back I helped My son get this S-10.. It needed a few body repairs... So we smooth the tailgate,Frenched in the plate on back and fixed a big dent on the side of the truck..Also Made a custom roll pan..I Posted pictures of this some where's here but can't seem to find them..So I will do it again with what I have..

Here's a shot of his new truck..with the side being fixed..

[NEW INTERIORS]

The step side will be a little later in my posting...

I can't seem to find all my pictures so I will post what I do have and y'all will get the picture as we go...Here's a shot of the side finished..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now keep in mind he wanted me to do some custom work on the back end,,, I tried to get him to get a step side bed... (I love a truck with a step side)... He said no dad.. I like the one I have... OK son...

So I started doing the work on the back..

[NEW INTERIORS]

As you can see.. I had already made the custom roll pan...

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now he want's a hood scoop... I had a cowl induction mold... So I said OK you make it, I'll put it on your hood..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Few more of him laying up some glass...

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now we have to fast forward a little..... We didn't stop long enough to snap some shot's of us putting the scoop to the hood.... We was moving waaaaaaayyyyyyy to fast I guess....

[NEW INTERIORS]

few more..

Remember to NEVER !!! and I mean NEVER !!!! Give a coona$$ a water hose...

[NEW INTERIORS]

Here's a shot of the back end before the paint was put on..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now mean while.. I had painted the back end to match the rest of the truck,,, Even the hood..... Now I think I was done.... Not a chance !!!!


Now he see all these custom truck's with a step side bed...
Hey Dad !!!! I really like the step side bed now.... I want one !!!! OK son !!!! We will find you one !!!!


So !!!! Now we get to start ALL OVER AGAIN !!!!

Boy they got dad wrapped around their finger..

Now here's the thing.... Dad I want Frenched in caddy light's, So we have to weld up the light hole's..And I want the tail gate welded up,, And don't forget the roll pan, And I want to shave the step's in the back.... Is that all son !!!! For now dad !!!

[NEW INTERIORS]

Well let's get started... Since we didn't have a bed to cut up... And his was way too nice by now to cut.... What are we going to do ???

We looked on line for a shave kit for the back.... It was like $600.00 with the roll pan...

That isn't going to happen..

And no one makes the front step's out of metal..

Now I got to looking at his bed really good.... The mind was running wild...

I did find him a tail gate off a fleet side... I know it's to wide !!!!

So I cut it down to fit, And welded it in place..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now it's time to fill in the tail light's..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now He want's the gas door weld shut...

OK !!! Your going to do it yourself...

Time to learn son !!!!

And what a job he did !!!!
All this while he has been holding back on me....Son !!! I didn't know you can do that !!!!!
He just looked at me with a big smile on his face..

[NEW INTERIORS]

Now.. Since no one offer's steel front step's.... And the back shave kit was way out our $$$$ range..

I was looking really hard at his bed by now....
Man I really didn't want to cut up this bed... BUT !!!!

It was time to cut.... I told him I could make some custom steel front steps with his old fleet side bottom's...

He said what ever you want to do.... So while he was at school... I STARTED CUTTING !!!!!

I really wanted to surprise him when he got home... So I only had a few hour's..

[NEW INTERIORS]

The more I looked at doing this... The more idea's came to me.. So I cut all the bottom's off his old bed.... Now everything on this bed will be welded on and slicked out in the end.. No more plastic on this bed..
I will even hand make the two front pieces up top side...(gold piece in picture)

Here's where I'm at now.... I had all this made in on the truck before he got home...
