lol notice anything wrong here?

19GMC63 · 04-12-2009, 02:08 AM

That's funny, I noticed a pic earlier today of a stepside with a 67-72 bed...

simply put, it just don't look right. :lol

The late 80s, early 90s truck beds probably look better than the 67-72 beds.

Daniel 61 Apache · 04-12-2009, 02:12 AM

I just threw up a little.....

joe231 · 04-12-2009, 02:14 AM

I saw a 4-5-6 for sale with a long fleet 88-98 bed on it...the worst part, some one painted the whole truck too....what are people thinking????

dolphman88 · 04-12-2009, 02:20 AM

lol.. the funny part is, its my grandads.. hes buildin him a new work truck.. and had that bed layin around.. didnt want to use the stepside.. so he put that on there until he gets a good fleetside longbed.. lol

mbgmike · 04-12-2009, 09:42 AM

Heck where I grew up farmers did that all the time when the bed got all torn up. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have.

TwoFiftyShifter · 04-12-2009, 09:48 AM

Wrong bed and missing lug nut.

dolphman88 · 04-12-2009, 11:44 AM

missing several right now

chucks1967 · 04-12-2009, 01:46 PM

My truck looks like that... here's a pic. it is an awesome work truck, but I have a matching bed for it now just doing a little metal work to get it ready to put on. I'm just glad to see people taking pride in what they have and keeping them on the road!

jason65 · 04-13-2009, 08:00 AM

On that first pic you can see that ole boy in the hat looking at it and thinking, Are you smokeing crack?

4dranch · 04-13-2009, 09:01 AM

Paint job looks good,,,,I would have went with a home made flat bed myself.
But to each their own

lol thats the owner

There is surely someone out there that needs a good '67-'72 fleetside box and would trade your grandfather for a '60-'66 fleetside bed.

I guess it will do the trick, until someone does. If I had a spare '60-'66 and needed a '67-'72, I would do it.

Bahhhh, Just bondo up the doors and fenders up front and make it smooth to match.

Like said sometimes you have to use what you have, but I'd probably try and trade somebody for a later model to match.
