Damn you Friesian Bronco!!! I was JUST about to post this, but you beat me to it!
These trucks are getting popular enough that they should honestly just reproduce them for those who want them.
Why not? I doubt they would cost what they used to, but they'll sure as ***** hold up better than the brand new trucks they're pumping out...
I can attest to my above statement... a 500,000 km truck...

Supercab drip rail mouldings
Supercab side trim
Supercab interior cab trim panels (back walls.....black especially!)
Supercab side mount tank fuel sending unit (have tried everything from LMC and JBG and NOTHING fits the same as the original)
Supercab rear folding bench seat parts
Supercab headliners!
(yes, I know I'm supercab biased, but hey, other models are represented already)
Locking hood cable with keyed handle
Inner fenders, splash shields (I know, some of these are made, but not all of them)
I 2nd the motion on the rear sump pan for a 400.....I've got the Milodon, and while it fits, it's really tight. I also wholeheartedly agree with the elimination of Taiwan tin for body panels!!!
Within the frame headers for the 400.....I've got a set of Heddman's, and they work, but man it's all tight fitting in there now. (I know this is more design of a new part, but it's a wish and wishes go with the rest of these requests.....pretty much under "pipe dream" status) A good set of shortie headers for a 400 would be cool!
I'm sure I could think of more, but that's it for now off the top of my noggin.

I'm not paying 2X more than a brand new 2011 F150 Lariat.... I'll stick the the 2011 and it'll drive half as long as one of these old beasts, but then I'll get another one... hahaha!
Reproducing the early cheby pickup... what a terrible terrible idea...

Btw, it's not the entire Chebby truck that is being reproduced, only the welded cab and doors.
The current availability of body shells from Dynacorn:
- 67/68 Mustang Fastback unibody
- 69/70 Mustang Sportsroof unibody
- 67/68/69 Camaro coupe & convertible unibody
- 67 Firebird convertible unibody
- 69 Firebird coupe unibody
- 70 Chevelle coupe/convertible
- 47-57 Chebby truck cab & doors ($9,000)

I need black. What kind of condition are they in?

I had the same idea in the past, but no one seems to really care for it. I thought it would be nice if Ford would reissue the trucks, and start in the late forties, or fifties, and do three or four years of each generation of truck. Take the best, or most popular changes of each generation, and do a retro three or four years, then switch to the next generation, for three or four years. Ford has done so well with the Mustang compared to the others with their retro versions (Camaro, Charger).
You would have to settle for an updated drive line, they would never be able to do a carberated set up anymore with regulations that are in place today. If Ford were to do that, I would buy one, I think it would be neat to have an old dent, and a new modern dentside.
