That is one possibility. I have the exact same issue on my "new" truck.
I haven't investigated yet, I was just wondering if anyone had this issue before.

factory: 454, ice cold ac, power windows,locksand brakes, posi, heavy duty trans, headliner, cheyenne equip., dual tanks, by the way 1/2 ton 2wd swb, upper and lower moulding, canopy has been on since day 1 along with the bed liner, and the list goes on and on and on! The spid sheet was packed full! Now my question is do i sell it? is it rare? do i slam it and put on some big wheels ( original idea ) or what please help! By the way no he would not take $900.00 for the truck! But he sure took $1000.00!

I say yes. Since you obviously paid too much for the truck I'll give you your money back and take it off your hands. I hate to see a fellow board member get in financial trouble.

Nice looking truck. I think I would just take the boards off, shell off, and drive it like that for a while. Then decide which way you want to go as far as future improvements.

v502 · 01-31-2010, 06:22 PM

Nice score man I would slam it if i got the square body but i got stepside. I love the curves

sickred72 · 01-31-2010, 08:35 PM

I guess the bed liner is good for something as long as you have a topper on it! That is so you dont get any water underneath

Bed floor has no dings or dents
just some scrapes! and the bed sits a little higher because they must have took the bed off at one time ( maybe for the canopy wiring? ) because the loom is between the bed and frame. And there is a 1/2 inch section of rust. it was behind the running board bolt it had some dirt packed in there thats it! Time for some twenties, a rear 6" flip and spindals and springs for the front! any better suggestions?

joe231 · 01-31-2010, 08:41 PM

So there was rust, dirt, and wiring under the bed holding it up?
Was that after you took those recent pics? Looks like it is still a bit high?

sickred72 · 01-31-2010, 08:48 PM

I didnt adjust the bed yet. i will probably pull the bed and do the flip at one time.

dan76 · 01-31-2010, 08:48 PM

Nice acquisition. I'll suggest a 4/6 drop, updated wheels/tires, rear disks and loose the boards.

sickred72 · 01-31-2010, 08:50 PM

boards are gone as well as the canopy! isnt it amazing when you put stuff in the free section on craigslist and your cell just blows up! well at least it went to someone who needed it!

silvereagle07 · 01-31-2010, 09:17 PM

Nice score. Good looking truck.
