Love these restoration documentation threads, thanks for doing it!
What length pipe do you use in your pipe clamps (for both length and width of cab)? Looking to invest in a set and I'd love to get the right length pipe the first time out.

Quoted from Skins:Thanks for saying so. The long one is 5' and the short is 3'
Thanks! Would that work for a B/W wide body as well?
Quoted from Skins:I'm not sure. I haven't used them on a wide body. Be sure to get galvanized pipe though. It's a little more money buy doesn't have the protective urethane coating on it the smudges off and won't rust like black iron pipe will.
Thanks again for the pointers (and at least at Lowes, which does free pipe cutting and threading, galvanized is actually a bit cheaper than black iron)!
Looking back at your pictures it looks like you also used the 3' pipe clamps to do the backbox, which as I understand it is the same size on regular and wide body pins (and of course wider than the body on either of them). So I'll go with the 3' and 5' pipe lengths as you suggested.
