AL Two 67-72 short fleet beds for sale!

[GMCNUT]

Hey guys - I am a 55-66 truck guy and in my rambling today I found and bought TWO short fleet 67-72 beds that I am going to pick up tomorrow.

I do not have pictures but will after I get them tomorrow - both were full of junk and spare truck parts, and both have been outside exposed to the rainy humid Alabama weather for years, but from what I could tell they both had nice un-rotted steel floors, and mostly straight panels - even the front bed panels. One was particularly straight and appeared to be in severely weathered original red paint, but it had some metal loss to the pass side fender up toward the front where it bolts to the front bed panel but down low, where the fender curves under slightly - hard to explain but very fixable I thought.

The red bed had no bondo or evidence of bondo - the other bed has some bondo back on the park light area of the pass side fender, but it looks to be thin and used by a lazy person to fill a depression instead of beating out the dented area.

Anyway, I wanted to let the 67-72 guys who are in the market to buy some beds know about these - I'd like to sell both together to someone who could come here to North Alabama and pick them up or arrange a transporter and take both for 450.00 each - I am sure they are worth more, but 450.00 each is all I need for them. They will both need dents repaired and old paint and surface rust removed and a full resto to ever be show condition, but they look like a good cheap start since these sell for upwards of 800 to 1200 in nice painted smooth shape.

So, PM me with your email address if you want pics or whatever - first one to say "I'll take em" wins. I am not on this 67-72 parts board so please PM only....Thank you!

This part is a little confusing. I know that posting in the thread such as 68lowburb and w314speed have done is what board policy requires for sales. But the "PM only" can cause confusion. Be careful is all I'm saying

I think if you want to sell parts here then it's worth the effort "be on the parts board" to check your listing.

I agree. We all work and have lives,, but, things are done the way they are done for a reason.

PMing email address is okay. But making deals via PM is not okay.

Are you going to be able to ship these by truck? I'm interested in the red one. Is it cleaner than the other one?
How is the tailgate?

I really need to send you pics of the green beds' outer bedsides first probably - its hard to say which one is nicer than the other really, because each one has its merits - for example the red bed floor is straighter and less imperfect than the green bed, but the floor looks to be smoother in the green bed - stuff like that. The Green bed has some obvious but thin and non-reconstructive bondo, but overall I sort of think it may be the best one of the two even though the red bed is straighter and bondo free....guess you'd have to stand and look at them with your own eyes to see what I see....they are both nearly identical in overall work required to make them a show winner if that helps. The Green bed has no tailgate, and the red one does, but its a freebee - not really what I'd call nice at all - not really dented but rotted across the bottom and has a skin of paper thin bondo over the outside....
Let me know what areas to cross-examine for you and I will try to pick a favorite between the two to help you get the one you really want....

About shipping - I recommend www.uship.com for shippers - some of them just load it on a typical trailer and haul it to you cheaper than on a 18 wheeler - in any case, I will absolutely assist any driver you send to get it to load....

Meant to say, these beds are in Arab AL 35016 for shippers - they weigh a good bit, but not sure how much exactly.

Hey guys - UPDATE - I am leaving early Sat AM from Alabama and will be driving the length of I-10 through Southern MS, LA and on to Houston TX - can deliver these two SHORT FLEET 67-72 beds to anyone along the way.

68LOWBURB has already expressed interest, and I emailed him back so if he responds to this thread saying he's all in, then they are his, but if he responds saying no, then any of the rest of you can have a shot at them

each bed is nice and restorable, and each is 450.00 or 900.00 for the pair - can't go wrong at that price - these are easily worth 600+ each

COPY and PASTE this link to the pictures if you missed them in the original ad:
