I will be coming to North carolina from Ohio in a few weeks to pick up a car and was hoping to be able to score a rust free bed for my 79 while im down that way. If anybody knows of any scrap yards that may have some potential donors. Im all ears, I have been searching out craigslist for parts but havent found anything to promising. Thanks KB.

 

Keep trying craigslist. There's also Pull-a-part in Charlotte, and there may be one somewhere else too. I know the one there always has quite a few of our trucks

 

I went to that pull a part a few months back and they have only a few ford trucks that i saw and the beds either werent there or were in bad shape.

 

They're always getting new ones, guess you just have to go on the right day

 

You wont easily find a bed for that thing. Especially if its a short bed, thats even rarer. Pretty high demand. Have seen only a couple rust free ones and have had price tags that would make you faint.

 

Call your insurance guy, They can search salvage yards that is how I found my Motor about 40 miles from me.

 

Are you looking for a long bed or short bed?? I've got a rust free 8' bed off a 76 Camper Special that has the built in tool box and xlt chrome.
