Newbie

Post by Donherrmann »

New to this site..looks like a great place. I’m a shade tree mechanic and have done some bodywork and paint. Working on restoring my brothers 79 shortbed 4x4. Anyone know of a decent bed sitting around for sale. Pretty much needs a whole new bed but can only find longbed parts. Any leads would be appreciated

:wel: from Georgia! If you've got the resources/skills, you could always cut a long bed down to a short bed. Dimensions can be found over on our sister site,, Fordification.net. http://fordification.net/tech/images/bo ... side76.jpg
