i think it turned out very well, considering i've never welded or fitted sheet metal before.

I won't lie I still love the stepside, but your truck does look good with the fleetside too!

I shouldn't be looking at stuff like this. I have a list of mods to do to my '98 that's getting longer by the day, already.
Any pix of under the hood to show what you've done there?

Nice work! Really nice!

I remember this truck, obviously it's hard to forget. Once you get a solid paint job on that thing it will be dang near perfection :handshake: Hell of a lot better with the fleetside bed...Just gotta love the straight smooth line is like how it should be, can't stand the stepside. Keep at it and keep us updated!
