Damn, that does look cool.
Coulda/woulda/shoulda......... If I'd have cut farther back into the bed, I could have put the tail gate into the back of the bed as the back rest. It's too shallow as it is now to do that..... but I was wanting to make something that looks like the truck from behind, then drop the tail gate for a place to sit......
Meh, we'll see how this turns out. I have the bed front panel from another truck that I intend to use as the "back" of this piece. Then I'll get some foam to cover and use as seat padding that folds up with the tail gate and not seen until the tail gate is opened.
