about to receive a 1963 Fleetside Longbed

[wbflyer]

Hey Guys,

I have a buddy that is giving me his old truck with the 292 and three on the tree. It's been sitting for 12 years but was painted a few years prior to parking it under a tree where it sits today. There is not much rust at all and but the wood in the bed is pretty much gone. Surface rust in the engine bay and on the frame. Here in the PNW it rains a lot but no salt on the roads so no real bad rust.

My question is, what are the best the places to shop for parts and I would really prefer a short bed, can this be modified at a reasonable cost?

Thanks Guys!
