Found a bed in OZ

Thanks to the US guys who replied about me needing a Styleside bed for my '57, I have found one here in OZ and the owner is a FTE member, "scrape", Gary also has a front valance a radiator and a '60 front bumper for me and he also has a big window conversion that I would really love to buy to add to my ol girl (fingers crossed I find some extra cash).
I cant wait to get it all home so I can start on the bed floor, it will need to be raised about 5 inches as I have stepped the chassis behind the cab and the body lines wont match up. I will be adding a polished dark timber floor and keeping the inner wheel wells for the origional look but they will be raised aswell.

Hi Ash, sounds like you have struck oil with your parts find there mate. 57 parts are not that common here. the bed looks in pretty good shape. Cheers Aussie 53.
