Looks like too much work to me, lol.

But drool worthy for sure.

Looks a lot like the back half Tommy and Mikey built (and never finished) for Tommy's F100 (that will still never be finished)

The process is a bit slower but way faster.

Blue tape layout, blue tape to cardboard transfer, cardboard image added to Fusion 360 and traced with correct dimensions, extruded to solid and converted to G code for the plasma table. Making one part would be a waste. But in this case I will need 6 of these exact plates. Once on the table it will cut a part in 67 seconds. Total cut length per part is 4.2 feet. So slower but faster.

Concept to real parts. My settings are dailed. Very little clean up, I tapped them on the bench and hit the front with a DA to look nice. I used a 5 gallon propane tank to shape the plates.

A little more progress. My job is to get this rig to a roller.

Welded up some brackets for the rear 4 link.

Bed structure is built. Time to build some cage parts and tie them in so I can pull the cab off and weld er up. These cabs are so small that I am laying the cage out for maximum head room. The upper section of the B pillar will be outside of cab.

If you haven’t cut the hole in your cab on the passenger side. You can use tape on the driver side and then peel it back flip it inside out and use it on the passenger side to get the hole so it’s not so big. Old, mini trucker trick.

I already cut both. I used my laser to line everything up.

 

[BFR_Built 🇺🇸]

Both sides are tacked in.

Dang you rock!

Shop clean up day.


And some plate work.
