I took the bed off the truck yesterday, to get to the cab corners so I could cut them off to put on the new cab. When my wife saw the truck without the bed, she liked it.

Of course- It really cant stay that way- But I said something to her about a stake side bed, and showed her a pic online of an older ford with one. She REALLY liked that. So, I played in photoshop-



It's a really quick rendering, but it gives you an idea of what it would look like. I kind of like the look.

My bed needs some repairs- The floor is pretty bad in a few spots, though certainly fixable. But, I like this as an option- Since it's not something that you'd see every day. I realize that most stake bed trucks probably weren't f-100s... But I'm not worried about originality.. Getting extra 'points' with the wife is always a plus, too- She picked that color (though I admit I like it, too )

Any opiiions? Anyone know of one of these that has been done before?

Yeah, the only way for me to not see one everyday is keep all the curtains closed and exit out the back window.
