I did talk the guy down some on his price which helped.

sometimes it pays, other times it just gets me in more trouble

maybe it's because I can't just look. guess its a good thing I look in junk yards and old truck ads and not in a bar somewhere looking at something else!!!

Hey Josh, thats what I keep telling my wife, works well most of the time.

For some reason when I mention that I need to find a younger, healthier model, my wife just laughs and says good luck with that......so, I don't seem to get the OK as much on parts.

Josh, great find!

Thanks

Are you talking about the F2/F3 bed in Grass Valley, CA that I posted a link from CL? Wasn't the guy asking $750??

I think he had a couple different beds. I think I did see your link, he had it up there for quite a while.

waiting on another delivery to determine if I'll be using this bed or a different one? Now to find a pair of running boards to match the tailgate! Oh wait, I did. well they almost match the gate.

if I can make a deal on them is still to be seen??

You need to get that tool tray off the top of the gas tank when you get the running boards.

Agree, thats an old road flare bracket. Missing the pots. Josh, I need that left rear fender that dude has his hand on! You better see if he will throw it in with the boards. Seriously!

That's what I first thought it was, but haven't seen very many of them before... You may want to grab that if you can...

Guess i havent seen any of those road flares? Anyone have pictures of what they look like?

Ive got 3 or 4 curved end tool trays, dont need anymore of em- cant get rid of the ones ive got.

They are very proud of that truck (and the others). For the price i should be able to drive it out of there! At least imo. They wanted $500 for the boards. I am trying to talk them down just a wee bit.
