Installed cheap bed mat to protect the floor of my 66 gmc, along with a cheap tool box to keep things from sliding all over the place in the back of the truck.....floor mats $20.00 each from tractor supply, toolbox off of craigslist for $75.00, tonneau cover from Craftec.....$300.00 No more rain, leaves, etc in the bed of the truck.

TX Firefighter has a real good thread in the FAQs section. You shouldn't have to drill anything.

niterider65 · 11-21-2011, 10:19 PM

Thanks

el_bole · 11-22-2011, 06:45 PM

Finally decided to stick with a free short bed stepper....

I was trying to sell it and was going to modify (shorten) a fleet LB but decided the cost wasn't worth it....

I was happily surprised that the mounts on the bed lined up perfectly with the '73 Chassis, whewwww no mods to be done!!! Just bolt 'er in...

The pics are just mock ups, still need to weld new cab mounts to fit my '61 cab;

jbgroby · 11-22-2011, 08:45 PM

Free is GOOD

YES my friend, if its free its for me!!!!

This belonged to a lady's ex-husband and she got sick of it being in her

yard so she put it on Craigslist and I snatched it up...Complete with tail

gate

. By the way she was trying to make me take a bunch of chevy stuff but I thought I got enough with the bed...

She said it was rusty, yeah more like just surface rust

....Think I am just gonna spray it the way it is with Hot Rod Flatz Race blue then cab to follow when money tree permits....

Have a good one guys/gals

Packing up the3 bed full of motor, trans, steering column, extra parts I might need, extra parts I don't need and towing my 64 step down to Tucson to my brother's place.

He said he could put it together, but man I just don't know if he can.

Wait and see I guess.

E911manager · 11-24-2011, 12:12 AM

Finished the floor on the cab and undercoated it. Finished the back cab mounts. Painted the caprice frame under where the cab is going to rest.

I had plastic wiper arms on the truck when I first bought it in `93, running down the road with traffic raining real hard , I`ve got the wipers on high and the right one flew off and hit the car next to me at the light, thank god the driver had a sense of humor he just started laughing.
