new bed/wheels pics

Got my SRW bed on the truck ($100) and my Raceline wheels, 16x8 with 285/75 Mickey Thompson Baja MTX tires

Will be swapping the SRW rear axle in a couple weeks...

I need a new tailgate. Doesn't have a handle and all rusted out! Also need to bend back one corner of the bed for the latch to work right. Have a ratchet strap holding it shut right now. haha

I just like that style tailgate....looks cleaner than the one with the alum......plus the alum is $$$ if you want to replace it

Ron you can do what I did, take the aluminum off. I mean I have six big **** holes in it now where the plastic mounts were, but that'll be fixed soon when I paint it. Just gives it character right now.

Looks like your bed is from a 88 model or so. odesnt look like it has the same body relief lines, or am I blind. I am tired, and it is late.

the bed is from a 89... but the body lines actually do match up. What throws it off is the placement of the two-tone stripe. The stripe is just a little higher on the bed.

good ole polish job and maybe nobody will notice. =)


They do look like **** with the holes.
I got sick of mine rattling, so i used some self tappers to fix that.

I like the older style ones then he has on that bed. or maybe they were newer.
They are bumped in in the center and say ford, but they are solid metal. My 91 had one like that.
