Yeah the beds i found near my house that the guy brings up from down south are mint for 700. dual tank for 900. I was looking for something around 400 or 500. But I would have to say that I need one with the fuel doors. so 77-79.

The Ford catalog has something screwed up about the rear gas cap. :/
Me and "Bill the ND" worked it out at least part way. But that's why I have
so many detailed pictures of my dumb ol' gas fillers. ;)
Since I added a rubber gasket behind the fillers, the original cap will no
longer fit on the aux tank and I use a chromed "rear tank" cap there.

The original rear cap was stolen, it was painted white too.
Got the wrong one from the dealership and one of the parts guys came out
to check it out tried to blame the "previous owner" of some sort of monkey
business and I agreed but the previous owner was Ford. LOL :)
"Ford never learned how to make the same part twice ;)" -my Chevy buddies
The rear tank can be a bear to fill so many guys have changed their rear
tank to the "door type". Might want to keep that in mind when buying a
bed? {shrug}
