Howdy, guys.
We got another PSD today!
95 F350 XLT 4x4
currently it is SRW w/service box and ladder rack
No pics yet unfortunately, but it is red in color and I'll try to grab pics tomorrow.
We want to put on this: SK Truck Beds flatbed. Set up as you see it in the picture.
We want to repaint the cab, but leave it red then put on the black body. That ought to look sharp I think.
We are going to put on dual rears and a plow plus the body I just mentioned.
I'm pushing for an 8' Boss straight blade trip edge or a Fisher wide-out. Depends on the budget and dad's mood that day.
Currently it has a Fisher plow mount, but it is bent and not worth messing with.

That was the price they gave us on one that is identical to the pictured one.

I don't know what they usually go for , but that doesn't sound like a bad price for the bed with all that storage..

Yep. 4200 dollar body for a 3300 dollar truck. 
I don't think that price is terribly high either. They're beautiful bodies.
Some day when we've got the truck looking the way it should I'll try to "borrow" it for a GTG.
I'm figuring we'll take the 4 compartments and use 1 for chains 1 for binders 1 for straps and 1 for miscellaneous crap. Then in winter I'll put down mudflaps on the bed, put on half a mafia block, put mudflaps on the edges, and strap it down for ballast.
We've got some mafia blocks that split in half because they were made improperly so the half ought to work out pretty good.
Anyone know how the HELL to get tree sap off a truck? The P/O parked it under a pine tree or something while he was waiting for a check. It was covered in little needles and sap. I had to blast everything off with the hose. It was in every nook and cranny on the truck. I still haven't gotten the sap off yet.
I told everyone who might drive the truck (dad and Steve and I don't need to tell myself) that if they ever bring the truck back looking like that I'll kill em.
