It is hard not to make some of the updates on my 6X6 to modern stuff. I did my changes in the electrical area and brakes. I am now having a hard time deciding to go with a flat bed or Box for the bed. Just about made up my mind using the flat bed. Back 60-70 years ago a flat bed would be the thing to do and I am thinking it still is. My idea is a steel frame with a wood center done right. The money I would spend making a 10 ft box is more than enough to make a real nice old looking flat bed with side racks. My skills and lack of metal bending equipment means I have to pay to make a box but I can build the flat bed myself. I have this thing about paying labor to fix up the PW cause I want to do the work to say I built this truck and did not just buy it that way. Course it would be nice to have the money to just go out and buy a completed one but doing the work yourself you earn the right to smile driving it down the road!
