Is there any way to reduce the size of the pictures? They are too large to really see.

Picture size when hosted outside the PWA forum Site (in this case imgur.com) is determined by the user/poster.

How bout building me a set

How bout building me a set

I started building these thinking Matt’s were unreasonably expensive, they aren’t. It will only cost be $150 in materials but I have 25hrs into the box so far and still have another side to do. Those little middle stake pockets take nearly 3hrs a piece.

So what im saying is, it’s cheaper to buy from Matt then what I would have to charge. I will gladly share dimensions and any other details you need to build your own though

Yeah my box is pretty trashed, one day will need a rebuild. You from sask Gyman?

Yes, we’ve talked before. Particularly about the truck sitting in Opheim

Thanks for posting these pictures. I'm getting ready to build a 10ft WDX be for my 6x6 Power Wagon, and you've given me some good ideas. I'll probably end up making the bed sides and buying as many parts as I can, such as headboard, tailgate and stake pockets.

Looking great and your attention to details is even better. I appreciate your photos.

[gyman98]

Thanks Todd, I’m glad you enjoy them. I like to document the process to review when I need some inspiration.

I really enjoy following your thread as well, beautiful work

What’s going in the hole in the bed? Maybe a gooseneck hitch?

Yes, I used a turnover ball and made a hitch. Here’s a photo

How much of your frame is boxed, and how did you choose to box it and where?

[gyman98]

I boxed it from front to back except where the winch bumper extensions slide in and where the rear crossmember braces come ahead.
