Sorry to large to ship,thanks for the intrest.

Bleach · 12-07-2004, 11:38 PM

Actually, I have checked into shipping it by truck freight. It's expensive, but hell, you're not paying the bill.

Well since it looks like my other deal on the bed fell through I'm going to take the bed apart. What kind of time frame you lookin at? PM me the trucking info so I can see how they need it boxed up. If you went to all the trouble to find out about shipping and really need it when I get it apart I'll get you some more detail pics of the floor.

GreyHoundSteve · 12-08-2004, 11:45 AM

Is the tailgate straight? It looks bowed in the one pic.

TEXAS 68 · 12-08-2004, 01:38 PM

I'll put a strait edge on it today,it's real flimsy because of no back on it.

Bleach · 12-08-2004, 06:45 PM

I'm in no big hurry as far as time frame goes. I'd like to get it within a few weeks. Once you get it apart, let me know the exact dimensions and the weight and I can get a quote on shipping. I'd like to see some more pics of the floor, especially around the edges so I can get a general feel for it's shape. When do you expect to have it all apart? Also, I think they just need it wrapped in cardboard. For this time of year finding cardboard should be no problem!

If it is straight then i am interested in it. How much to ship to 75067?

TEXAS 68 · 12-10-2004, 02:00 PM

GHS, tailgate is bowed it's a real pos.

Bleach, the rear floor support was cut out and a 2x3 of steel welded in for the tilt bed and rear pan I'll have you some pics over the weekend before I continue on disassembly

Rats! I really like that style of outer skin, i dont supose you know who sells this new do you? I know some of the vendors sell smoothed gate skins but none have photos and im concerned they will be different than the one you have there.

TEXAS 68 · 12-10-2004, 03:09 PM

Actually the p.o. welded in a filler piece,it's not a skin that was bought, this guy really butchered a good truck.
