Bed Sheet metal needed
I have a co-worker who is redoing a 73 short bed, that belonged to his father. He has a good bed except for the floor, the usual dent and rust. Does anyone know where to find the sheet metal for a short bed? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

And some more choices and options.. You can also put 1973-1979 bedsides on a 1980-1996 bed.
The inside bedsides, the front and floor is the same.
Just the rear stake pocket attachments for the taillamps and outer bedsides are different.
Do a search, I rememer reading about the proceedure on the forums somewhere...

LMC is NOT an FTE sponsor and they buy their sheet metal from the same people others do.
Perhaps people that encourage other people to buy from LMC should show us where LMC has a forum for fixing trucks ?
Support FTE sponsors instead as they keep FTE alive.
and be careful about the quality and gauge of steel you are buying.

Thanks Mil1lion, I'm new to the site and learning. I understand the quality of the parts comment. Currently doing a 69 mach1 and some of the parts offered at lower prices are low quality. You just can't beat Ford Authorized parts.
