1978 heavy half ton bed
hello, this is my first time in here and I am a novice. i recently purchased a 1978 heavy half 4 wheel drive that had been in my family since it was purchased new. i am in the process of restoring it and I need a long bed. I live in Kansas City and I have not been able to find one locally. So i am attempting to find one on the net. Thanks, ddoll

Glad to have you on FTE! There is a Kansas Chapter located near the bottom of the main forum screen. The guys in there are GREAT and would love you to join. They probably even have a Want Ad Thread that you could post in letting them know what you are looking for.

Welcome also ddoll. I know where there is a long bed stepside that is real straight, but it would need the wood floor replaced and the guy wanted too much, $600, for it. It is good to have you check in with us. I could also steer you to some salvage yards that carry older stuff. You may also want to check the forum for your age truck just to get good information. I did have a 79 short bed that we gave to our daughter and husband. It was a good looking truck.

if its in good condtions $600 would be awsome, as long as there was no rust at all

The long stepside when I saw it about a year ago was in pretty good shape, but was stored outside on blocks. There was some surface rust, but it was real straight as it had come off a truck that had a firetruck unit put on the back.
