had a pretty good day overall. went looking for truck beds. The guy that had the flareside crushed most of his dents Went to another junkyard and they didnt have a shortbed. The one that had a shortbed was closed, so I couldn't go look around, went to a so called "junkyard" in Blountville Tn. and tried to work with a guy, but no luck. Went back to Blountville auto salvage (a different junkyard in Blountville) and found a truck bed, but was too rough of condition to fix. And turns out i took the leaf springs off of that same truck 2 summers ago. Soooo, I'm back to square one.

I snuck over the border into NC. East of Raleigh, if I get a chance I'll look for some short beds. I do have a trailer that I made from a 75 SB and a 64 F100.

I was playing Car Town on Facebook and saw that we have a Ford-Trucks garage poster on there. How awesome is that? I've got one in my shop lol

Mav, 64 frame. I got the 75 bed for $20 after a guy wrapped it around a tree. Cut the bed side off in 2 pieces, beat on it with a sledge and welded it back together. Good for a trailer.
