My 3 year search for a suitable used P/U ended with the recent purchase of a 1989 F150 Custom, Long Bed, 5.0L, 4x4 w/ 73K miles, new exhaust, new tires and one new gas tank, for $2000.00. Since neither gas tank sending unit works properly and I noticed some heavy rust under the bed, I'm planning to pull the bed and make the necessary repairs.

While I have the bed off, I am interested to know if there are any reasonably priced tilt/dump bed kits out there? I found one from Ezi-Lift for about $1550, but I would rather find a "do it yourself" kit for much less.
