Redneck got a score! SWB Fleet Bed!

[67ChevyRedneck]

I did it again. I can't stop. Why can't I leave my truck alone?

Ever since I bought the old girl in 1996 I've wanted a fleet bed for it. I came close to buying a PERFECT Arizona bed for $1,500 in 1998. Well, it wasn't just for the bed. Two rusty ass New York 69-72 trucks came with it. I didn't care about the trucks, just the bed, but alas, I didn't have the $$$. Remember those trucks dad? I think they were in Falconer, or was it Jamestown?

Any who. I saw one offered up on the parts board and jumped on it. I drove 170 miles up to Winston-Salem, NC to pick it up.

It's not quite as nice as it looks in the pics, but it is EXTREMELY straight. There are 3 areas with small pinholes and the bed floor is basically toast. It's bent all to hell. The front panel will most likely be replaced and the repop tailgate looks to be repairable. I got a very fair deal on it.

This was offered up by Geoff, board member gcburdic. He was super nice and sent me close up pics of all the "bad" areas of the bed. There were NO surprises when I saw it, I was actually happy. With the bed stripped it looked a little wavy in the pics, but in person it's as straight as can be.

The bed was at the body shop where his truck was being painted. The body shop wanted way too much $$$ to repair it and for Geoff a new repro bed was his best/cheapest option. His truck is GORGEOUS!! The paint was finished just a few days ago. It's a sunset orange metallic 68 swb fleet truck. I can't wait for more pics of it! Y'all will love it! I was stupid and forgot to take pics of it.

Geoff was a great fella to meet and we talked trucks waaaaay longer than we should have and I ended up unloading the bed after dark

Thanks for the deal bud!

I know pics are a requirement, so here goes:
