Use three residential door hinges, tack weld through screw holes. the bed will not be flat very long if you are hauling mower and stuff in it.
Really nice work, Mustie, in planning & laying out what metal must be worked to give you a solid pickup box & tailgate. Outstanding mechanical problem determination and resolution skills! Oh, and Happy New Year 2022!

I have to hand it to you my friend. You are an excellent fabricator.
cool work
Any use is better than hauling parking tickets!
Yaaaaay a little crusty
Wish it could ha been restored tbh.

Dont forget headach rack for lumberor metal. Id say put id under to support lip and add structure for ramps
My opinion I would keep it and make a parade piece out of it take it and write it in a parade show it off pain is not like new
Your killing me makes me want to build a madmax machine more than ever
make it a tank
…just my 2-cent…when you get tired of that truck-mod, turn it into a stake-side woody. And I'm with on the patina but I would have at least used rust stop on all the covered and welded sections…would give the old Cushman a bit longer life span 😎
22.10 "Should I put it on top or underneath?" The TOP! The Top! Mustie put it on top dammit! OK it was over two years ago but you ignored my advice yet again and did your own thing. I'm beginning to question my input in these projects. Keep em' coming Mr M. 🙂
I would put some nice meaty tires on it an make it into a flat deck with option to add removable sides, and i would change out the lights and upgrade to led just my opinion
I know this is old. But could you have just used the oscillating saw to break the weld between the two pieces of metal and then used some larger L bracket to fill in and add strength?
starring at water fall river at end of video……..wondering if I would catch anything with a well placed luer
