Truck Bed

I posted the other week about selling my 79 f250 4x4 with 351M. I put gas in it today and it fired up and I called the guy back and told him I'm not selling it. Can't part with it after the work and money I put in her. I am now looking for a bed to go on this truck. One that is in good condition with 1 gas tank door. I would take the dual tank if it was reasonably priced though.

lol, it originally had a 2 door. figured it would be cheaper to get a single tank one. I would just have to rewire the sending unit and figure out how to hook up the fuel line. You mind sending me some pictures?

I don't know if this picture helps any.
If you need a different angle or maybe I need to wash the dangged stuff? ;)

Hosed and wired in an electric fuel pump so I can fill the carburetor before
engaging the starter. It really does work great, starts like an EFI mostly.

When I get my scanner going the wiring diagram will be no sweat. ;)

Where at in IL.? I know that in your other post you said centeral. I'm from over East of Bloomingtgon and met a guy a couple of weeks ago at a gas station that asked me if I needed any parts for my truck. He said that he and his brother had 5 or 6 of them and they didn't have time for them anymore so were going to part them out. He gave me his number and name. Think that he is from around the Leroy area. I might be able to call and see if he would have anything decent.
