8 foot script bed

I saw this on craigslist and noticed that it said FORD TRUCK on it and if I remember right that was the older trucks mid 30s? He says its about 8 foot long. Will this work on my f3? Is the price right? Seems a little high, but I do not see any of these beds.

Ford Model T or A truck bed

I think the price is reasonable considering you don't see too many of them, I don't for sure. If I wanted to put a flat bed on my pickup I'd certainly try to ****** that one up. As far as it fitting your pickup I'm not sure, do you have a long box on it now or is yours a short box. If yours is a short box the flat bed could be shortened if the over hang looked too out of place.

Judging by the pictures it doesn't look like it would be would be too wide, probably just under 6 foot in width, would look right at home on your truck, you will likely have to change the mounting points, no biggy. If it's close to you I'd jump on it before it's gone.

If the frame rails are close in width as your F-3 it will set on your frame rails and be attached with U-Bolts.
I want to say these bodys were started in the early 30's and up thru about 55. so it should fit with no probem.
