My first post - I'm going to need a bed

[Jimal]

A quick introduction...

My name is Jim. I just recently signed up on this board because I'm looking to get a vintage truck to tinker on and use for my weekend runs to Home Depot. Last night I looked at a '65 K-20 short bed that the seller was restored/customizing in his garage for the past 20 years or so but is ready to unload. Aside from some funky 1990's custom choices, the truck is in really good condition... except it needs a bed. It comes with the components for a short bed stepside set up from a 1975 Chevy, but I'd rather have a correct bed. Stepside or fleetside doesn't matter to me, since I'll be starting from scratch and this isn't strictly speaking a restoration project.

I'll have other questions and I'm sure parts for sale should I pull the trigger on this truck, which I'm probably going to do later today. I don't have enough access to post in the Classifieds yet, so I'm starting here. I originally thought I was going to end up with a rusty project for my budget, but if I can get this truck all the work I'll need to do is mechanical. Or at least not rust repair.
