late model bed

I found this article while just looking around and once I saw the truck it got me wondering how it would really look it is a 67 with a late model wide bed on it here is the link but the pictures dont really show it very well this is the first truck I have seen done this way but if anyone has any pics of others throw them up

Re: late model bed

please don't do that. I personally think it' looks horrible. I don't like it with a similar age stepside bed either. It just looks out of place to me.

Re: late model bed

Yeah, I remember that article as well. Thought the same thing. It was a good story though, couple guys in the military together built their trucks together... one just happens to have poor taste
