Probably won't be much belly pan progress today, it's pretty windy out and that doesn't go well with large sheets of plastic. :/

A little more about the truck. It has 4.10 gears out back, so the RPMs are high on the freeway. Just over 2k RPM at 60MPH and almost 3k at 75RPM. Not going to change them out as that would defeat the main purpose of this truck. On the trip to and from Home Depot to get the coroplast it averaged 16.5MPG doing 55-60MPH with the tailgate down on the return trip. At 75MPH it gets about 14MPG.

Here's some pictures of the belly pan so far. I also took a picture of the passenger side to give a better view of what was covered and the zip tie points.





BabyDiesel- I think I will just do a flat bed cover of some kind. Most of the gains while being easier to store.


kafer65- After looking at more gap fillers for the front wheel well, it looks like I should be able to cover more than I thought. I still need to do a video to see how far down I can go.
