I have a 49 GMC with 55-2nd up, bed (including fenders). Although the truck doesn't look bad, it's like the pea under the mattress, and yes, I can feel it. Wandering around I found a place that might find me a proper year bed (complete).
The guy told me he might found somebody to sell my bed and asked me how much did I wanted for it. What would be a fair price for it, its in top shape, except for the wood, not new but not rotten. I would put it on the freebe thread, but just the shipping might kill you guys, I live in Guatemala.
Thanks for any advice.

At the end, maybe I'll make it a flatbed and use the money for other much needed part. Thanks everybody. | | |
