I read all the replys before I looked at the ad, and though "It can't be THAT bad". Well, it is. I think if he bobbed the bed before the rear axle, to maybe a little shorter than a shortbed, it MAY look okay.

I think whoevers behind that should say no to drugs, its sad to see so many of these lovely old trucks fall into the wrong hands and go to a sad waste.

ok so it turns out i go to school with the kid that did this...

he is a jeep dude and gets dent every now and then
he sold my friend a 1978 f-150 short bed for $3000 and ripped him off...
the 351w in it is about to go, he caked it with bondo and put a crappy spay paint primer job on it...
not worth $3000 at all
