Through my local Craigs list I found a new bed for my truck WITH tailgate for $500 bucks! Mine that I have now has a half-azzed bondo repair that is starting to chunk off, and would cost me well over the 5 bones to fix. The new one is just that.....brand spankin new, untouched from a 2003 F250. They've had it sitting around in the backyard, he did a flatbed conversion when the truck was brand new and didn't need it! WOO HOO! I think I'll definitely re-coop my costs selling the tailgate and bed seperately from mine

 

Congratulations on the find. Gotta keep the outside of your truck looking good.

 

Definately a good find!!!

 

The inside of the bed is completely SPOTLESS.....not one scratch! I'll be doing a real bedliner this time (Line-X) instead of the nasty looking one in my gallery (Herculiner) yuck! And I'll have to remove the factory "4x4" stickers on the sides of bed....which shouldn't be too hard.

 

I could really use a tailgate. To bad you are so far away.

 

nice find Travis...congrats...

 

I always use a hair dryer for stickers .. only because I dont have a heat gun

 

Is it the right color?? I still need to replace my bed from my tire issues last summer!! Have a brand new 08 bed, just need to get it painted. 500 bucks is a steal on a new bed especially an older model one.

 

Yupp....Oxford White! All I have to do is remove the cheezy "4x4" decals from the factory and I'm good to go! Having a friend who is a body man do the swap for me. I might even MAKE money on this deal with selling my bed and tailgate

 

That's a huge bonus not needing paint!!! Right now I wish my pickup was white!!LOL!

 

Yeah tell me about it. We tried the cheap way out and did this on quite a few of our trucks... including mine. Paper thin junk, i dont really even use my bed (well for a few things) and the paint is showing through the liner. Plus another reason to get a Line X is the Herculiner is really rough, hurts my knees and she doesnt like the roughness either.

 

That line-x isnt goin to be any smoother. My friend is looking into getting those carpet like rugs for his 6.0 (hes got a cap so it will be outa the weather)..and hes got the same problem as you...
