John stopped by the shop last night so we could fit up the running board skirts on the Biederman.

After taking some measurements we got the top flange folded over using the magnetic brake. The flange will be bolted to the underside of the cab to support the weight as we will leave about a 1/4" or so gap above the running board to allow for frame flex.

The rubber edge trim is our attempt to keep the paint from rubbing off, and these are held in place using weatherstrip adhesive.

The dump bed had been painted over when John bought it, but closer inspection showed where some additional layers of paint in the hand painted lettering, "Phone 60" had staved off surface rust in it's previous life and was still visible...
