The sides are now finely done! Got my 1/2" D-Rings and the last 8 Stake Pockets welded on. I will let them dry till Friday then with help bolt them on. I have red and amber clearance lights wired inside the 2x4 tops and down 1/2" steel tubes to protect the wires from damage. I drilled and tapped the holes and put machine screws in them to keep the threads clean. I will put them on after the sides are one to not bust one. Been waiting for this a while to see how it will look. When I make the side boards I will use oak planks and 2x4s stained and oiled. I wanted a beefy old style look to the dump bed.
