Restoring a 68 F-100

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a bed (truck, of course) shipped to southeastern North Carolina for a reasonable cost?? I have located a yard in Milesburg PA that claims to have several very nice ones, but common carrier rates from there to here are as much as the price of the box.

Or maybe someone has a good one in reasonable driving distance from Wilmington, NC?? (200-300 miles).

Thanks for any input.

69 truck on ebay

I know there is a strict "no selling" mentality on the forum, but you did ask if anyone had a bed for sale.

I have a complete 69 F100 short bed for sale on ebay for cheap. I had a buy it now of 600, but someone placed a bid on it so that dissappeared. Its currently at $350. I'm in North Alabama.

Now we're talking. My sister and her husband live south of Columbia so I know the driving time/distance. How can I get in touch with you or the guy you referred to? To tell the truth I was thinking of driving 600 miles and paying 600 or 700 bucks.

Many thanks for your response.

Thanks, Cammer. I'll be in touch. My name is E. J. Hey Qman, I'm sorry you can't imagine anyone owning more than one vehicle. LOL
