Hi and thanks for the links and info. I've already read about Phil's vehicles and his mods - he's about 5 hours north of me - maybe one day I'll be in the vicinity for a visit.
My B2000 has front torsion suspension, so it can be lowered easily without changing any components. The rear would just need some blocks and new U-bolts - I'm guessing $50 or so total to lower it.
I've already made rear fender skirt template - not sure if I want to try aluminum or fiberlgass for it. I need to bump it out a bit for tire clearance, so I may use a couple of layers of foam to sculpt it into the fender flare then use that as a mold for fiberglassing a skirt. It shouldn't be too hard - famous last words.
I'm hoping to make up a folding/stowable semi rigid bed cover with Tyvek - still trying to hash out a design in my head for that. I'll keep searching to see what I can find out on the board for that.
There's a scrap metal place a couple miles from my house and I head over there once in a while - hoping to find a big aluminum skin I can use - either for a bed cover or an under body pan.
