Just because it's not the way you'd do it if it were yours is no excuse for attacking the project, IMHO. For me, I'm looking forward to seeing how Ben Modified is planning to finish out the front end, as it's obvious from the cut line that there's more to come.
Ben, please ignore our "brother" from the extreme south. He sometimes gets his panties in a wad and lashes out in bad form. Hope you'll post more on both projects.johnboy

yes, at an angle between the left rear corner of the cab pointed toward the left rear leaf spring. The bed sides will be modified to follow that line as well, then straight back along the inside of the tires in a step-side fashion.

The drivers side is finished and welded in.
I was able to drop this side a bit and get even more leg room!
