newby intro

Hi all, i've been looking at a 64 f100, 60 f100 and then 68 f100, decided on the 69 f100. i had a 69 when i was in college and liked it. what is a good tire that has a bit of an original appearance? how does the latteral trim on the ridge come off? also there is inside door trim that goes around the removable inner panel, where would one order the trim?

The trim on the "bump" (Hence "Bumpside"), is attached by a variety of clips and retainers.


Before taking it off, I suggest obtaining parts catalogs from the likes of Dennis Carpenter Reproductions, National Parts Depot, Mac's Antique Auto Parts, and LMC Truck. They catalogs contain diagrams that illustrate the trim attachments and much more. Visit the Tech Info Compilation linked in my signature for links and much, much more.

I think there are 8. Six that drop through the bed and two short bolts at the very end of the frame rails underneath.

Nice pic...welcome aboard!

I think there's only 4 bolts holding the bed down, maybe 6. I was underneath mine last night but I didn't look at that.

Long beds have 8 bolts, such as described above. Not sure on a shorty. Probably 6 in the same fashion.
