For the price, neither seem really appealing. How about Savanah, Macon or Columbus areas?

Yeah ... the guy in jacksonville had lost his damn mind. I asked if he would be willing to sell just the bed then offer 500 for it, but he hasn't responded yet. I did find a decent looking parts truck in locust grove Georgia, but the ad doesn't have any contact info ...

The truck in Jacksonville has been posted a few times and never sold.. the price is way out there. Keep looking in GA and dont give up, i've bought a few rust free trucks really reasonable from up there and i'm way down in southern FL. Its worth the drive for rust free stuff at half the price.. get the bed you need and then sell the rest. Or give it to me

You know there are differences in the beds in this 73-79 generation? Look at the gas cap.

oh man, that place in Ohio looks like a gold mine! however it is a 13 hour drive one way ... I think I'm gonna have to stick to Georgia for now. ClassicKidNick, whatever I buy and don't need i'll sell you at cost. I wish I could get that one post from locust grove to respond!

There are FOUR different 1973/79 F100/350 8' Styleside beds.

Left quarter panel (bed side): 1973/76's have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79's have fuel doors.

1973/79 F350 Regular Cabs on the 140" wheelbase (Super Camper/Trailer Specials) have the rear axle set back further, spare tire is located behind a door on the right quarter panel.

The seller said no rust and it's "solid." What makes it junk?

Not Craigslist, but what do y'all think about this tailgate and what would be a good price?

I got a decent tailgate at my local pull a part for $60. It didn't have the chrome accessories. But it would have been the same price.

My local craigslist had a tailgate for sale that looked in nice condition for $500. I don't see it tonight so I guess it sold. I did see a bumpside for $250.

I would ask somewhere between $60 and $500.

Take a good look at it. Front wall has been smashed down at the top plus it bulges forward. Front right corner above the spare tire door has been pushed in. drivers side below the gas cap looks like it has been curled under.
