A friend is rebuilding his 40 body to look pretty stock. The rockers though were shot behind the outer metal, so he replaced the stock sheetmetal with some 2x2" square tube. He also wanted some diamond plate (Ray's old school) so he welded that on too.

Here's some shots:

The jig is so well balanced he can turn the tub easily with one hand! It'll be really nice for spraying on the epoxy primer and paint, assuming the weather holds.

The lowest parts of the tub will be completely hi-lift-able, and the back piece was excessive at 1/4" wall (all he had lying around) but it makes it easy for him to tap holes to bolt on his factory tailgate. Ray is a perfectionist, and prefers to do things right the first time around.
