Man I do NOT have the suds, anymore

Well, got a bit more "along." HF does not seem to know whether they actually shipped my jack or not!!!! But I got guide plates made for the sides, where the bed comes down on the "straight" part of the tongue, and got 1/2 the pin brackets done on the front of the tongue.

Next step will be to use these as guides and drill the tongue for hitch pins "so they match" and then I can slap the "other half" of the pin brackets on the inboard sides and weld those two on.

The angle and channel are just spacers to give it a bit of "play"

I really cannot brace up the tongue assy until I get that blasted jack
