Flareside
Does anybody out there know where any 8' flareside beds are for sale in good solid condition? I am looking for a better bed for my 67 pickup. 53-72 is preferable, but 73-79 would possibly work as well. Thanks for any help!

A little headway....
I found a 8' Flareside bed on a 53 F250 in excellent shape. Some of what I have read says 53-56 are separate, and 57-72 are together. However other articles have said 53-72 all will work, but the 53-56 have the fenders mounted a inch and a half lower. If I am putting this bed on a 67 with 35" tires will it affects how it mounts with me running big tires, etc. Versus the lower mounted fenders? All input and knowledge welcome on these beds.
Thanks
