Short Bed drain

I have a 1975 Ford F100 Short Bed and it's currently parked in my driveway due to some Idle issues, problem is it rained the other day and I have some water standing in the bed because of incline of my driveway it's all gather at the front of the bed. I have heard of drilling multiple holes in the bed to do this, are there any tips on hole placement or other options?

Thanks,
James

Do you see the blue line with User CP, Albums, FAQ? See the SEARCH on that line? It has a drop down search menu arrow, go to the "Advanced Search" option, top left side (search block) type in there what you are looking for and then go to the lower right column and highlight 73-79 forum. Select it and then you will have a detailed search just in the 73-79 forums.

Or go to the top right of each thread and see the Thread tools...Search Thread, hit that drop down menu, click on Advanced search.
