1961 stepside bed same as 1970?

Post by Fordfool »

I have a new neighbor that moved in today and he is a HUGE FORD fan. I was talking to him about different things and he says he gave away a truck with a perfect short stepside bed, but it was a 1961 model. would that work on a 67-72 frame and look good?

i would assume it would look fine. i can't remember if the frame widths are the same or not. you can always make it work.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.
