Don't forget the sawzall and the 12-pound sledge.

Southpa · 10-09-2003, 07:23 PM

Thats a shame, not a very good match at all. I would chuck the box and find a stepside box. Those old trucks just don't work w/ a fleetside box.

That looks like a big pile of dog crap! Yuk

Talk about a mismatch of stuff slammed together for something? Only thing I know that has so many unrelated pieces in it is me!

Hooter · 10-09-2003, 10:31 PM

mine as well stick a big ole ugly aluminum canopy on it while you are at it, the kind with fake woodgrain and the plexi glass bubble windows

bigblock73 · 10-09-2003, 11:51 PM

That is FUGLY!

This is just wrong. What the h@ll were they thinking...

krazy_texan · 10-10-2003, 12:53 AM

i dont see why they didnt just keep the step bed and bought the fiberglass cameo style fenders for it.

**StingRay** · 10-10-2003, 01:01 AM

It's up to $1625.00 with 15 bids. It's a private auction with the bidders identity protected. I'm not seein' a 16 hundred dollar truck here and something smells fishy to me

If the cab was raised up to the same level as the bed it might not look so bad. I disagree that fleetsides don't fit these trucks. I had a 59 Apache that looked awesome as a fleetside truck. It was an original fleetside of course. I wouldn't say it is a total lost cause but not really worth 1600.

I used to own this 59 long fleet. I bought it from the 2nd owner of over 30 years. It had a I-6 with a 4 speed granny on the floor. Except for rims, it was original including floor starter button. Perfect wide rear window, with chrome bumper and grill. No rust that I know of. I sold it for $800 a few years ago.

boraxman · 10-10-2003, 01:16 PM

But you can "yard drive" it!

greenhorn male · 10-10-2003, 01:20 PM

Here's a brighter pic. It had the chrome emblems on the bed, i beleive it said fleetside. I bought it with an Alaskan camper on the bed which I gave to someone on the way home after I bought it. I didn't like the looks of the camper so I told this guy if he took it off, it was his. I also gave him the spotlight that went through the left cowl. It had a generator (not alternator) and an oil bathed filter if i remember right. I drove it as is until I got tired of it.

you could also use Boz-All and some of his cousins

landon4421 · 10-10-2003, 04:30 PM

someone got a hold of the crack pipe IMO

greenhorn male, I would have given you $800 for yours, But this guy on e-bay is a joke.

lukecp · 10-10-2003, 04:34 PM

Yuck!

Those trucks look great with the steel fleetside bed...the one with the little chrome pencil shapes along the bedsides. But not with a '88-98 bed! Looks like the truck was sitting at a stoplight and a '88-98 rear ended it, lol.
