Man! Looks pretty clean so far... too bad you aren't getting EVERYTHING done while you've got it apart heheh.

Lookin' good! I know you'll be glad to get it back. Does it feel sorta like you're missing something?

When I heard "c-notch" as you explained it, I was thinking of a notch...something only a few inches high. As I see now, this is a much bigger process than what I had in my head...you have to go a few inches higher, yet be able to support the weight of the truck. It never dawned on me. Thanks for the visuals, Jeff!

PS- I'm sure you now see if you didn't before how different my brother and I truley are. Can you imagine growing up around that? :)

I can't imagine. :)

Now you can see why I came from such a sheltered upbringing. Any deviation from what is considered "the norm" was strictly prohibited. hehe

That can't be as strong as the original design, also will it have to protrude through the floor of the bed? Does it need to be so high?, I am concerned!
