I don't think it is going to be saved sense this was posted in 2009. It probably got scrapped or (Burned)

Can you post a pic of the vin plate?

I've always kinda wondered this too, but the gate and the gate hardware is production stuff. The truck is a '67 judging by the dash cluster and knobs.

Whoever did it had a lot of time involved in it!

NICE... I wonder
How long it took
What it looked like new
Could there have been a finish that would have lasted longer
what the weight was compared to the steel bed.
And why didn't he/she do a nice wood camper too????

That is truly a first.

Its pretty cool what some people build. I found this one online.

desertnick69 · 12-21-2013, 09:16 PM

The po of that truck was a proud man, and a heck of a craftmen. Must have had to much time on his hands?

Chevy4Life · 01-17-2014, 01:42 PM

Nice to see this back to the top. I kinda regret not buying that bed. I'll see if I have anymore pics saved.

I just found about 45 pics that I took that day. Most of the good ones are posted but do you think I should post the whole series?
