I have a '74 fleet side box, I was picking up my used windstar seats for the truck ($150 cheap) and a guy walked in looking for a box for a mid 70's ford. I told him I had one, the parts guy ran it through the computer and there wasn't one in canada sor sale or the NW usa, I was floored. Needless to say he is going to call me! I need to set a price. Help. Maybe I should just keep it for later when I can't hunt anymore! and need a new project?

 

Or i could come take it off your hands

D@mn man,
They are pretty hard to find. Especially in good shape, ive come across a few, from cali or arizona(these are usually new) anywhere from 800-1400 cdn funds.
Found one or two in decent shape roughly 44ish cdn,.

 

thats 400ish cdn$ not 44ish

 

Thanks for the info. I was wondering what the scoop was, I would have thought more people would have responded to this question. But that's for your input. it is appreciated!

 

They must be pretty rare, because I can't get one in decent shape here in Georgia....

There is a "particular individual" (no further comments will be made) that sells them on eBay...but be SURE to read the feedback about this "individual" before you send him a wooden nickel, though...!!...

 

I cant seem to find this guy on ebay?? Im lookin, not finding,

 

Search for 73-79 ford bed; this "individual" will be amongst your hits; occassionally he has beds for sale.

If you'd like to send me personal email about the matter, feel free to do so - send me your phone via private email and I'll call you...

 

Shortbeds for 73-79 trucks are very rare! They are next to impossible to find!! Expect a good condition, rust-free bed to be worth AT LEAST $1500.

 

Ive found a mint one, not a scratch for 1200 canadian

 

Dude, that sounds like an excellent buy!!

 

Yeah, I know, But everytime i come across one, i dont have the money, well i do I just cant because of other expenses, an dim not working all the time either.
