Pack Mule bed box?

[GEFFW]

Ok, so I'm basically building this thing so it's useful to me on the farm and as a swap meet parts getter so I'm building a box for it. Lol, I don't know why I'm using all aluminum on this thing but it's how it turned out. I don't usually work with it much. Just using junk laying around. This is old aluminum water pipe. It's a start at least

@GEFFW that looks great, and will serve a purpose.

Lol, okay, soooo, it may or may not look like an upside down canopy ‍♂️ Oh well, it will still be functional and don't look bad, and beside, now I know if I ever build a mini trucking can make a mini canopy

Impressive work

. Now your just showing off. . Better put drain holes in that.

Looks great! Are you going to polish it up to bring out that natural shine?

Thanks JimN. I don't know about showing off, I was having a hard time coming up with a design in my head. Lol, it was my buddy that said it looked like a canopy when I was working on it, I thought that was pretty funny. My motto is it's just got to be Good Enough For Farm Work, so there you go!

Thanks Steve73! Lol, well, I thought about it on the side panels in the back because I think I can work them some more and get them to that point like the front fender but I don't know if I want to go through all the work! Probably be hard to maintain too. My plan all along was to go orange with flames, that was why I wanted to make some sheet metal for it, then I polished the front fender and messed with my plans so who knows!

 

[GEFFW]

Impressive work

Thanks Rishard Trotter! It's Good Enough For Farm Work at least!

Nice work. I wish I had the tools and (patience) skills to do work like that.
Impressive.

I hate to disagree with you, but you are wrong!
I can't do stuff like that. I envy your skills.

 

[GEFFW]

Well I guess polished it is!

Hahaha ya, I'm almost getting it too good for farm work now. I'm still planning on making a gas tank and that will be out of steel so hopefully some flames on there still!

Thanks hermans13! It's been a lot fun. Just got done making a gas tank for it. What a chore! First one I've ever made, lol, alot of firsts on this thing!

 

[GEFFW]

Built a gas tank for the Pack Mule today. What a chore! First one I've ever made. Now i just hope it doesn't leak, TIG welded it and I'm not very good at that but I wanted to try. Here's a bunch of pics

Gas tank mount. That should be solid!
