This is what my truck is http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb31 ... 1ad-03.jpg

Now im in a quest trying to find the bedrails!

Here are the bed rails in the photo you provided me.

go to page 96 of the catalog. They are not the same as mine, but mine are aftermarket chrome. I wish I could remember where I saw my exact one. Good luck!
I wish I can open that!!! I have really slow net and it said it will take 2 houers to download :cry:

go to http://www.dennis-carpenter.com and request a catalog if they will send it. I just noticed that the part is listed for a 73 pick up. You can get it for a 6 or 8 foot bed. Good luck!

Hello,
If its a 5 lug (f100) truck it will raise the value by making it a shortbed, but you need to use a factory shortbox and just do the frame. If you dont know anyone who has experience doing this then dont risk it and leave it long.
