Im looking for a bed for my 79 F100. I have been searching for months here in Michigan and have not come across any, Or any in decent shape. If any one knows of one any where or has a listing for one please let me know.

Thank You

 

I just posted thread about one I just found on ebay check it out. Thread is titled Found this on ebay

 

Stylesides: 1973/76's have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79's have fuel doors.

 

Yes numberdummy I know. I also realize the inside wheel wells in the beds are different. 73-6 they are longer then the 77-9. But they do interchange. Thanks for the heads up though.

 

Have you checked out the local craigslist and maybe this guy for a lead on one in state? Yes maybe a little far to drive?

1973 - 1979 Ford Truck Front Clips

Have you contact your FTE state chapter and see if you can get a lead from any one there?

Got two boxes. A 78 dual tank box & a 77 single tank. But I'm in Nebraska. And l'm not giving them up cheap.

 

look into buying a parts truck. It is cheaper in the long run and you can part it out/crush it when you have all the parts you want/need.

 

I have one off a 76 highboy. It is not perfect, but it is not all rusted out either. If interested send me a PM. I'm in Michigan also.

 

I have talked to the place that sells all the front clips, the also sell beds but there beds go to a reconditioning process and they sell them in as new/rebuilt with a hefty price tag of $2000+ and that's out of the question right now.

 

That's what I wanted to do but I don't have enough room for that where I live and the shop im doing all my work on the truck at wont let me store another truck in the lot.

 

This bed looks decent, I sent you a message.

 

Check with the local towing companies that take impounded vechicles
and have public auctions.
Saw a clean running 74 sell last week for $300.

 

Where is the link to that public auction? Count me in.

 

I've hit the public auctions once or twice here where I live & its a waste of time.
They start out out scrap price & then the Mexicans just bid everything up beyond what their worth.

 

Here are the pics I promised.
