(...) The unfortunate downside is that this design, while being almost exactly what I wanted to do for the Pizza Planet truck, is impossible to build without the cap over the bed. The most significant issue is that the B pillars on the back of the (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)
