I have a guy that has this bed but he doesn't know the year. Doesn't this look like a 67-72? Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

BigSky71 · 03-07-2007, 11:14 AM

Yes it does you are in luck, if you were building a Ford!

bobthecop · 03-07-2007, 11:15 AM

Yeah, thats a f@rd

1969k10stepside · 03-07-2007, 11:17 AM

If it was close to being a chevy,which it isnt..it would be the 60-66 era.The chevys sorta looked like the fords in those years

68Mike · 03-07-2007, 11:32 AM

Thanks, it just didn't look right to me. But then again, thats why I ask you guys those hard questions...lol. It is for sale- $25 bucks

Rod · 03-07-2007, 08:28 PM

yah gotta watch the language in ads...sure it will fit a chev...but's its still a ford box.

**too much stuff** · 03-07-2007, 08:48 PM

The tailgate almost looks like a 73 and up chev... Still a ford box tho...

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-07-2007, 09:27 PM

$25 is cheap!!!

dan42 · 03-07-2007, 11:38 PM

I think, '67-68 ford - the strip down the side is indicative of the year - but $25 is way too much for a f#@rd part.

unless he's paying you $25 to take it away....

Longhorn Man · 03-08-2007, 12:15 AM

67 - 72 ford
Best lookin for truck IMO.

**special-K** · 03-08-2007, 12:38 AM

Put it on your Chevy and tell people it`s a Mexican bed.What the hey?

sdkid · 03-08-2007, 01:22 AM

If its in good shape, buy it up. Then sell it on ebay and see if you can turn some coin on it. I agree that the gate is chevy.

68GMC454 · 03-08-2007, 04:19 AM

well if you can put a chevy front clip on a gmc,,why not put a ford bed on it to..couldnt be any worse...and would sure confuse who ever bought it and seen gmc on the title,,but nothing left of the gmc..

CrashEd · 03-08-2007, 04:37 AM

Theres probably a ford guy looking at a nice 68-72 short bed wishing it was a ford. If you could find him there would be one guy happy. I don't see a lot of happy ford owners. My son is junking his ford mud truck and he has seen the light he is getting some of that chevy power.

**special-K** · 03-08-2007, 08:59 AM

Should be worth big bucks.The cheezy two-piece bedsides like to rust along the "what`s this there for?" seam that runs front to back.Of course,with the "drooped in the rear" cabs not fareing much better,the demand could be low.

Longhorn Man · 03-08-2007, 03:51 PM

if it was here in the rust belt, you'd have guys offering you there wife and a butt load of money. I think the last one disolved and returned to mother earth in the early 90's.
They are still very common in the southern states though.

blukangoo · 03-08-2007, 04:41 PM

How much does he want for the cow in the first picture?
