Custom Bed???

Ummmmmm

So the guy who owned this truck before me was... Eccentric. Now I'm guessing he just added the second set of rear lights. Any experts out there know of a truck with this setup. I've studied some pics and there are other things that make me think the bed is off of something else.

Original beg and gate. PO just added support to strength the gate and added lights. Nothing too special.

Looks like the rear-facing light was installed to hit the guys on your rear bumper who won't dim their headlights.

From where I sit it looks like a lot of original steel there! 2,4 or 6 lites who cares?, with a box that sturdy!

I'm not complaining, I actually like the 4 lights, six might be over kill

I was pretty sure it was an original box the the PO had modified, but just wanted to ask around. Hell for all I knew there was a year with the 4 tails.
