Wow! I'm not sure how I missed the start of this build. But love the project man. Will be awesome.

Agreed. Great looking bed build.

In an HD Ford or Ram truck you can throw RCV's in the front and shave about an 1/8th inch off the stops. It may not sound like much, but it makes a HUGE difference in turning radius.

Looks great! Look forward to seeing it completed. 👍

My bad I thought you just wanted information on what rear axle was in what GM 3rd gen HD truck. Not comparing GM, Ford, and Ram axles in different generations and variations.

Honda should walk away. There is zero upside for them.

He's talking about Ford's

I think a splash of that orange on it would look awesome TBH.

Very nice! I like it.

Looking into it more, it seems SRW and DRW 3500, both gas and diesel get the 11.5 The 2500 gets 10.5 if gas, 2x4 and 4x4 and diesel gets 11.5 in both. Hope that makes sense.

It's the same from my understanding. 10.5 vs 11.5 ring gear. I'm sure there are some that know way more than me about the GM product rear, but even then, the 10.5 is no slouch.

Look forward to it.

I'd think adding a rubber membrane like flex seal at the bottom of the boards would make it rot faster, by trapping water at the bottom. Wood needs to breathe, but also needs to be treated for weather resistance. Be that by oil soaking, such as creosote, chemicals, or used oil with a penetrant...

Love it. I'd be in the market if I didn't need 4 doors. It would be 40s and a flat bed QUICK.

If you decide to ship, let me know.

I definitely get that. Love the single and ex cabs, but the family is just too big for it RN

Love the truck man. You are in my backyard too

Yes. They cut corners where they can unfortunately. Sucks TBH. Glad you have a plan. 👍

That sucks! Use treated lumber. Unfortunately to get costs down, alot of trailer manufacturers do not. You can mix diesel and used motor oil to help treat them when new and untreated. Its messy, but I've done it many times. Otherwise, spend a bit more for them to put in treated lumber. Treated...

Love it! I look forward to seeing it built.
