1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

This is the tedious part, drilling 35 holes for the bolts that hold the retaining straps down. Then I get to work with the tiny plastic bolts...I'll need 70 of 'em when it's all said and done, 35 for each side!



These are actually bolts, I sanded them smooth so they look like the carriage bolts that are normally in the bed.

you get em from grandt line?

Sure did, they were the closest I could get to carriage bolts in this diameter.

great job on the wood bed floor!!!!!!! going to have to try that sometime

Give it a shot, it's actually much easier than you think! I'll work up a tutorial for it so you can do it my way if you want to try your hand at it!

I modified the amount of holes a bit just to make it easier, I chopped two rows out, making it only 25 holes and 50 bolts....and it still took all day to do it! Here's the pics, enjoy!

All the holes drilled and ready for the bolts....the first five bolts are installed on the bottom strap.





Here's where you get to see exactly how small these babies are...yup, I'm cross-eyed right now!



Once they were all in place, I laid down some Metalizer Aluminum Plate, next step will be a quick buffing and then the installation of the wood!
