Those bloody trucks are a lot of work. It looks great TK! 
They are bad enough going back stock. This guy wanted everything "smooth". All rocker seams filled, no spot welds showing, etc. That "smooth" is costing him a lot of money What is crazy to me is it is a stepside with the spare in the rear fender. That is not "smooth" to me

Shhh, he might be listening and decide to have you smooth the bed. LOLThey are bad enough going back stock. This guy wanted everything "smooth". All rocker seams filled, no spot welds showing, etc. That "smooth" is costing him a lot of money

Man, I'd rather have a long bed..They are bad enough going back stock. This guy wanted everything "smooth". All rocker seams filled, no spot welds showing, etc. That "smooth" is costing him a lot of money
He bought all new bed pieces except fenders, and the fenders needed a lot of work. Could have made it a fleetside for less money. He also spent a lot of time looking for a spare tire holder which needed work.

This had me chuckling all weekend.
I’m about six weeks into body work on my 56 Cameo. These bloody trucks are a lot of work, more than I ever imagined. I’d estimate double what a car is. Don

Move that decimal over one to the right and you'll be moved to the top of the list. My material rate is based on a complex formula based on gas prices, customer attitude, and which side of the bed I woke up on that day. It can vary a lot
Sounds fair to me, however.......I should get a slight discount for making you laugh

Great job! The spare tire hanging there does take away from the overall looks of the truck in my opinion but if the customer's happy, everybody's happy.
