Just googled them and they look good, good price too. I see you're cutting tube is that for a rack, mounting of the bed or are you building a custom bed altogether?

Naw bro, you need two or three stitches because it crosses the entire length of your knuckle. Glue only holds for a few days and that's gonna open up every time you bend your fingers. And it may not hurt now but if you glue it, it will hurt for months with scabbing. best to just go to local stitcher and get it done right. I see these once a month from a saw blade, grinder or something.

Also want to make sure you didn't nick the tendon or you'll end up with a bum finger.

Here's a pic of my "farm" from a while back. Need to update the photo. For instance, the black truck grew up to be a diesel.

I build a 1 1/4"x 4" sub frame with 6 points of mounting for the service bed. I build it on the truck frame then set the bed on it and hard tack it. Then remove service bed and weld out the sub frame to the service box. Makes for a perfect fit.

I also make sure to buy a cab n chassis not a bed delete. Thats why the frame is straight and not contoured.
