Truck Bed Ideas?
I just recently bought a 1964 f100 short bed styleside truck. Its running and driving numbers matching 292 3 speed on the floor. The only problem is the front 6 inches of the bed is rusted out. I cannot seem to find patch panels and thought about doing a wood bed but it would lose originality. My questions are:
1.Am I able to cut out the bed and use a wood bet kit from LMC? They only offer one for the stepside and I dont know if thatll work for styleside or not
2. Will these pannels from Summit work to patch the bed?

Any one else have an easy solution to this problem?

Welcome to FTE
Same Styleside beds: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD & 1966 F100 4WD
Numbers matching is a "GM thing" and no Ford truck after 1952 came with a 3 speed floor shift.
Ford = Flareside, a stepside is a Chevrolet. The Flareside bed is much narrower than a Styleside, because its rear fenders bolt to the outside of the bed panels.
