I also noticed that it appears that the poor girl has had the front of the frame cut because I don't see bracket holes for the front bumper. And the previous owner put on a roll pan for the rear that I need to take off and I looked under the running boards and they appear to have been cut and wielded to its current length. However there is no rust on the fenders front and rear they are prefect. Oh dose anyone know where I can get the center hub caps for the F-2?

If you think you might still have them in a few months I'd like to maybe come and get them how much?

So I'll make you a deal. If you come up by first part of July you can take off what you want. I plan on starting on the upgrade at the end of July. That way you can just help me take it off.

Hi Ray,
Welcome from Maine.
You get bonus points for posting pictures on your introduction post.
It appears as though your bed is custom made. If you are looking to re-create a stock bed I can say that finding parts will be difficult but at least you are in the part of the country most likely to have something mostly rust free.
If you get in a pinch, I do have an extra F2/F3 tailgate that would score a 5 out of ten in the West and a 7 in the rust belt.

Tom, how much would you be willing to sell the tailgate for?

Ok, so I measured the running boards and they measure over 73"s on the bottom. I think it's supposed to be 70"s. Also that the bed is indeed a later bed off of a 118" wheel base, and the fenders appear to be the correct ones but that the previous owner lengthened the running boards to make up the difference making the gap between the bed and can wider. Now I also found out that the frame is only 4" from the crossbar to the end in the front so it has indeed been cut. So I can re-shorten my running boards but need ideas on how to fix the the frame. Oh I also managed that find a complete express bed and tailgate in Washington I pick it up in July from my friend.
Thanks
Ray
Thanks
Ray
