There is a dent side on ebay for sale. It would be the same for a dent. Trucks 70-79 and problably more. It is the whole truck to give you an idea.

Nothing screamed "plain jane city or fleet purchase utility beater" quite like a longbed stepside did back in the day. We have some old 8mm family movies of my Grandfather's '65 or '66 lb step F series pulling out of the driveway.

I love those beds...

The awkward looking long step up front could be fixed by having dual stacks like a Lil' Red Express. Not to mention it would look pretty mean

Hey mike, that's my truck

Here's a little update. It took me three years, but it's finally close to finished.

I amazes me how careless and uncaring people are when it's not their stuff!
For the Pumpkin, I think parking lots are going to be a big no-no

Mine has only left the garage a handful of times (waiting on clear roads). But I'm at college 5 days a week and I don't know what goes on during the week....

8' Flare sides are cool....I had one for a project a few years back, but sadly sold it after I got rid of the truck. Mine didn't have those tail light guards.

I don't think so. I believe the farmer I bought it off of put them on. I didn't think it hurt the look of the truck, so kept them.

I have to admit, its unique, I like it too now. The majority of those 8 fters I saw from the '60s-'70s seemed like were owned by the water works or the City somehow, they got used hard, not many survived.
