Utility box bed

I have a utility box on ol black that says Ford on the tailgate. The box was on a 73 Ford utility truck that looked like it was a city street utility truck. Apparently Ford made from tailgate. I have never seen another one. Are they rare?

This is a common Flareside pickup box that has aftermarket utility boxes mounted to it. Ford never offered a factory utility box for any year Ford truck.

Ford never offered a step bumper for a Flareside.

Whoa

I looked and looked for info on my utility bed. I have a '77 F-250. One of the lock latches is missing.

According to the previous reply, it's actually a flareside?

Mind blown.

@NumberDummy Do you know if I could remove the toolboxes and revert it to a flareside?

After looking at your other thread, I bet this guy cold take the tool boxes off, find some flareside fenders and get his back to looking like a LB flareside. I am not sure about yours being so easy.
