I bought a flatbed today. It was on a ‘56 F350. I’ll pick it up next Saturday. It’s in Philadelphia. Some pictures.

It looks like the steel framework is in good shape. The rear end panel with the Ford script is not all bent from backing into a loading dock. Great find!

Awesome find Dennis. It looks in great shape and it's a Ford script bed to boot.

I'm glad you're going with a flatbed instead of an Express Bed. Everybody should have an F100 pickup and a F350 flatbed!

Not much happened this year. Too much camping, knee trouble, a letter from the borough...

It’s been picked over pretty good. No grill, windshield, heater assy, front of hood was eaten away, no front wheels, one rear wheel. Not sure if it had a motor.

Nice find. Now you will join us real truck owners.

Oh, that's something else I have. A spare flatbed. Anyone need one? Could be a reason for someone to come visit me.
I bought it to fix up but had the opportunity for my son to build one for me.

Now that's more than 10 characters!
