Oh NO!
I was out at one of the local pull and save yards when I saw this pickup truck bed sitting in between the rows. They were using it to hold tires and wheels. I did a double take when I saw the tool and stowage door on the side. I had to remember one of my favorite sayings. Never attribute to malice what mere stupidity will explain.

Re: Oh NO!
when i first saw the pic, I figured it was a 50th... but the tool box makes it a 70 - 72, so instead of a rare 50th bed, it's a rare bed with a solid lookin tool box door.

Re: Oh NO!
Everything is salvageable with enough time, patience, sheet metal, etc

Re: Oh NO!
My old boss used to say "If it didn't disappear, it can be fixed.....but it's gonna cost".
In reality, in a case like that, you don't repair parts that can be replaced. Some things just have to be repaired because there are no replacement parts available.

Re: Oh NO!
It's to bad they ruined that door,
 . I'd never seen one of these doors before I came to NM. I have since found 4. One was solid with a little rust in one bottom corner. The last 3 have been rust free. Here's a picture of the latest one I got when I bought a parts truck to get the 402/400 combo for the 68 SWB I'm building for my son. Rust free, nice fiberglass box, all brackets, good handle, nearly perfect wood grain trim, 2 keys, the inside seal is good, it even has the sticker from the factory...................... .

Re: Oh NO!
My truck had the option for the tool box, but the retarded po took it out, welded in a piece of sheetmetal and put on about a gallon of bondo in the lower panel, thankfully they make replacement panels for it. The bed that is, not the door :P
