Where would one find a camper or tonneau cover for this thing?

Now that is a long bed... I'd rock that all day long.

not a fan of the bed, but I would love to have the cab. I am a sucker for spot lights.

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
Overall length doesn't look like it's any longer than a long bed crewcab. Just that the extra long bed makes it look alot longer is all.

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
OK so maybe a dumb question but is that factory ? You would have a hell of a time parking that thing.

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
I like the idea of it, but if it is indeed a '74 it needs the correct grille and hood reinstalled.

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
That would be like backing a Peterbuilt. Cool , I do that every work day.
From just looking at the truck , The frame must be a longer than pickup deal.They state is the factory frame and that it has the Ambulance Prep Package (Hydro boost brakes, Dual batteries, HO Alternator, Search lights) Last edited by powerdriver 1958; 09-29-2010 at 08:17 PM. |

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
This truck is definitely a custom job as it has a 1973-78 bedside on one side and a 1979-91 bedside on the other.
However, I saw a for sale ad for one in a magazine 20-25 years ago for a 1975 JUST LIKE THIS ONE except it was brown and very low miles. The ad stated that it was a very rare factory option for the 12' bed. I saw another one about 10 years ago that was white. i think it may have been a 1973-74 Cheyenne as well.

Re: holy loooooooooong bed batman!
Well spotted! I missed that the first time through. Somewhere, I too, have seen something about 12' beds...thought it was custom though. I wonder if there is a version.

Re: Where would one find a camper or tonneau cover for this thing?
It also has 1980+ mirrors and 1981+ door panels, though the "interior is all original."
I wonder what the SPID label says if it's still there.
