Bed work - wheel tub preparations

Yesterday we set out to mount the bed to the frame. In order to do this, we needed to cut a rough opening into the bed walls so the tires would have clearance. The 0penings will later be cleaned up and widened further when we receive the new wheel tubs and weld them into the bed.

Here are some of the pictures I took on my phone while Dad was using his torch to cut the wheel openings in the panels..

As you can see from the pictures... there were a lot of sparks and red hot steel... As a result of this... I appologize for not getting a picture of the small fire that emerged after the first panel was cut.. I was running to find something to put the fire out with. :-P













First fire on the truck.... "check". We probably should have moved the card board. LOL!
