The headboard (as a less complex shape and with some room for lower precision) was the first assembly made up and attached to the lower body. Before welding the upper stiffener into place blocks of 3/4" steel were installed as reinforcements in the holes for the dropside retainer hooks. The plan is to remove and bend the hooks once the dropsides are assembled. In the meantime the hooks have ribbon to try to keep us from poking out eyes.
Then we moved on to the more complex tailgate. First cutting the blank, then bendingindividual pieces, laying them out for a dry fit and comparison to the "rough" remains of the original.
