Hauled a couple beds home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I hauled a couple LWB beds home Friday. I can't use them but rather than let them sit and rot to the ground I bought them. Well, today I found a short wide bed for sale, and it's in good shape. Now I don't have the money!!! AARGH!! Needless to say the LWB beds must go. Anyway one has a good tailgate and both even open and close, wow. ***edited by moderator***

The brown one looks like it may be worth something...esp if that's original paint nad the other side is just as good.
The blue one, looks pretty hosed from the pics.

The brown one that is made into a trailer is actually gold. Both sides are solid and rust free but the other side has some dents. And the floor is badly rusted. The other one was originally olive green then someone painted over it poorly, and that's why it looks so bad in the pics. The paint is flaking and peeling everywhere. Other than that it is very straight and has only a little rust starting around the wheelwells. This drivers side view of it looks caved in at the back but it is NOT. Just a strange shadow effect or something.
