Now that is a long bed...

irishman999 · 09-23-2010, 03:20 AM

motornut · 09-23-2010, 05:47 AM

Davidmichael · 09-23-2010, 04:23 PM

not a fan of the bed, but I would love to have the cab. I am a sucker for spot lights.

1tonchevy · 09-23-2010, 04:26 PM

lol put the bed behind a crew cab and dually fenders that would be one big truck!

I bet thats fun to park, not to mention the mile wide turning radius. lol

BLE 'BURBAN · 09-28-2010, 02:39 AM

Overall length doesn't look like it's any longer than a long bed crewcab. Just that the extra long bed makes it look alot longer is all.

OARNGESI · 09-28-2010, 05:20 AM

Kinda weird they didnt mention the bed

big10ratrod77 · 09-28-2010, 02:41 PM

ive thought of makeing one they would be awsome for hauling scrap metal couse you have like a 12 foot bed and then a 20 foot trailer behind that that would be awsome! I WANT ONE

JHT67 · 09-28-2010, 03:01 PM

GOT A GUY IN A TRAILER PARK NEAR BY, LOOKS LIKE HE'S WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Sorry did't know caps was on

SS Delux · 09-28-2010, 05:40 PM

OK so maybe a dumb question but is that factory ? You would have a hell of a time parking that thing.

Davidmichael · 09-28-2010, 07:34 PM

everything is factory except the bed.

Custom 12' Bed- Diamond plated bed and tool box

I like the idea of it, but if it is indeed a '74 it needs the correct grille and hood reinstalled.

powerdriver 1958 · 09-29-2010, 07:56 PM

That would be like backing a Peterbuilt. Cool , I do that every work day.
From just looking at the truck , The frame must be a longer than pickup deal.They state is the factory frame and that it has the Ambulance Prep Package (Hydro boost brakes, Dual batteries, HO Alternator, Search lights)

c10sport · 09-29-2010, 10:13 PM

This truck is definitely a custom job as it has a 1973-78 bedside on one side and a 1979-91 bedside on the other.

However, I saw a for sale ad for one in a magazine 20-25 years ago for a 1975 JUST LIKE THIS ONE except it was brown and very low miles. The ad stated that it was a very rare factory option for the 12' bed.

I saw another one about 10 years ago that was white. i think it may have been a 1973-74 Cheyenne as well.

Well spotted! I missed that the first time through. Somewhere, I too, have seen something about 12' beds...thought it was custom though. I wonder if there is a

version.

c10sport · 09-30-2010, 12:41 PM

It also has 1980+ mirrors and 1981+ door panels, though the "interior is all original."

I wonder what the SPID label says if it's still there.
