Thank you to the man who needs no introduction– I’m definitely not opposed to buying a parts truck. I have plenty of space and have been successful with that approach before. I’ve yet to see one with the bed I want locally- I’m in a farm area so lots of big trucks, 1 1/2 or 2 tons everywhere. I do have a couple short boxes (bed only) that I’ve bought for little off CL, I thought that I’d be able to find someone that was going to cut down their long box into a short and trade them. It’s been a year and am yet to find a local enough trade.
I have this week found a nine foot bed that someone made into a trailer. The asking price seems high, hence my question here.
My other thought was to have new panels bent, but finding a 9’ brake hasn’t been the easiest, and all the other bits that a full bed would include.
Thanks again for your reply Fox- love your truck and have been watching all along. Funny, it’s very similar to what I imagined independently to do to mine.
