Bedside storage door

How hard is it to find the storage compartment door? The local parts yard has a truck with a rusted out bed but the compartment is there.

I was thinking of cutting that part of the bedside off and adding it to my truck. But the door is nowhere to be found.

I am sure there is some FTE'er out there with one for sale...post up a WTB in the FTE classifieds.

HIO here is a little motivation, and FYI if you have the front tank, the filler neck is going to need to be modded a bit, the pic if from a old post on here.

I think the idea is way cool.

Hello my name is Rich and I have a Ford truck part hording habit.

Before I was a hoarder...... I actually scrapped a truck that had one still in it, it was a long time ago.

I have come along way to be able to admit that on here. I am not proud and admit it was a terrible mistake.

Yea Jim because your trucks have a factory set up and the pic with it on the dvrs side is custom install. (not a factory option on the dvrs side).

I am only quoting what the guy said about the install job.

Thanks Rich. I wanna do both sides of my bumpside. I was at the JY yesterday and spied a rig with one so I'm going back this Friday to excise it with my new toy.

No problem with tanks.. it only has an in-cab tank.

Seems like the doors are gone alot in the yards around here too. My brothers 71 has it on both sides im 80% sure. And it would be stock, also just the cabin tank so that may be why?

Tool box was only used on the passenger, never on the driver side like Bob's box. He is never going to use that box I don't know why he just don't sell it to me.


Found the door.

Funny, I don't see a problem. Hoarding parts is perfectly normal. I've got a closet that's 8' wide and 14' long full of Ford parts to prove it .
