I know i ask to many questins and all but does any one know of a good place to get a bed for my 95? I live in Hell called Pennsylvania and the salt the hell out of the roads so all the beds here are rusted through in the fender area. I am willing to travel for one with NO RUST and NO DENTS. But it would have to be in excelent shape.

 

call some junkyards further southwest... thats your best bet.

 

Yea Figured on that. Im just hoping some one here will know of a place that specializes in that. I know the exsist but I dont know of any.

 

Go to the yellow pages and search for junkyards in the Atlanta area. Zipcodes in the 30000-30100 area. Look for locations within a few miles of I-285, the prices are usually very cheap.

www.pullapart.com is very good though they usually do not have newer Fords. That is more for the expensive places that buy the vehicles and part them out themselves.

 

you looked into fiberglass beds? no rust to worry about.

 

No I havent is there a such thing for my truck because I would Deffinitly be interested.

 

dont seem to see any online, but my uncle took me to a place that did them in indiana to pick one up for his yota, looked really good, really stout, not sure how much he payed though.

 

Yea I searched and didnt find much. See if you can find out how I can contact that place. That would be awsome thanks a lot man.

 

Makes me glad to have fiberglass sides fenders on my Flareside - no rust to worry about.

Good luck finding a rust free box. Maybe you could find a dent-free one and patch up the rusted spots? Just a thought.

 

another place to check for clean pickup beds are wrecker manufacturers. i got a bed for a friends 97 F250 for $250. brand new bed, sitting in a garage with 29 others of various year and makes for 7 years. they get trucks in, and pull the beds off to put the wrecker body on. most owners never come back for the bed.

 

Sandy Lake Auto wreckers normally have a ton of beds (they are up towards erie though), Stoystown Auto wreckers (in stoystown, toward somerset) used to get truckloads of beds from the south. Connellsville Autowreckers noramlly have a bed or two on ocassion. Since you live in little washington, you might see if Rt 19 Auto wreckers have any decent beds, or see if they ship them in. You probably pay $500-700 for a decent longbox (if you can find one).

There is also that salvage yard on Old Brick Rd in West Alexandria, I think it is Sechrists auto or Bob Cossells auto..

 

Thanks a lot. I always go to Arden for yard parts, the place in West Alex is U pull it. They wouldnt have anything either but i will deffinitly check the other places. I take it you are from around here?

 

not a problem. I live between youngwood and greensburg, but I travel a lot.. Stoystown is probably your best bet..

 

You wouldnt happen to have contact information for the place in sandy lake or Connellsville would you? I googled them but cant find anything. Soystown doesnt have any right now and they want like 1500 for one. Thanks a lot for your help.
