I have also posted a similar question on another custom car website, so I apologize if this appears to be redundant for some of you surfers out there.  I'm needing to know if anyone give me direction or ideas on what to use as "hinges" and lift or support mechanisms, to be mounted on  the lower side of the pickup box?  If you know of a website with an article or close-up pics, etc....I'd really appreciate that.  I'm also thinking about sliding the front end assy. forward and then tilting the front clip upward as well....so any articles regarding that would be helpful as well.

I want to be able to tilt the bed, from the left to the right instead of lifting it up at the front and tilting it backwards.  I put in a lot of time painting the frame and undercarriage and would like to be able to show that off.  Why else do we do this stuff?  Right?  LOL!  

Thanks,

if i remember right there is an article on www.s10forum.com using an airbag to tilt the bed. it has been a long time since i've been on there so you might need to dig around.
