what's a good price for a step bed
 

Hi new to this site and hope i do it right
I found a 67 short step bed that is rust free in verry good shape but needs new wood for $300 is that a good deal

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

Considering how hard it is to find 67 Step fenders I would say its a good deal. Rust free is always a plus too.

I talked to him on the phone today. ill look at it tomarrow. i forgot to ask if it had a good tail gate and if it had a spare tire finder or not

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

In your area that's a steal (assuming it really is rust free.)

I paid $300 for a set of rust free 67 rear fenders.

im from ill.but im a truck driver and the bed is in the south west

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

I have a step short bed w/out the spare tire fender though I would like a fleet bed. That being said I would ask $450.00 for mine. It is in such great shape though, I'll keep it, But that's what I would ask.

That`s the best price you`ll ever find.I sold a clean`67 original paint fender for $300 last summer.I`ve found bed for $300 in Texas.Shipping was $500+/- and that was before Katrina.

3 bills is a sweet deal if it is just a useable bed... let alone a restorable one.

Here's one, not mine. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/pts/996136552.html

That's a smokin deal. I paid 4 bills for mine and I live in the land of "no rust". It had some minor rust... and I doubt very much any "stock" piece of sheetmetal from 67-72 has no rust.

Ha, ha, I guess that I shoudn't have sold two 67 fenders plus a 68 and two beds for $100! See what wives can do to you?

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

Sounds like a good deal to me. I don't need another one and I would pay that for one for a future project or investment.

I bought a rust/dent free '68 step-side bed with a tailgate from a guy in St. Louis for $500. All it needs is a paint job and bed wood. All the dents have been removed, it is primed and wet sanded.

He brought it down to me when he picked up a cab from us.

Thanks for the info everyone.im meeting the man at this truckstop @7:00 am this morning to look at the bed (ill take pics) & post if i can figure it out

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

good bed.. paid $2.75 rust free with one dent the size of a quarter on right fender, wood gone but strips are there,tail gate is alittle ruff but rust free.the only bad thing is it's a 68 not a 67 but i can deal with that


ps what is the diffrence between a 68,69,70,71,72 s/step? the marker lens has 68 on them

you can buy pre-cut plates to weld into the lights... and Mar-K always has good deals on wood...

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

thanks ill check into that

Re: what's a good price for a step bed
 

Actually, those won't work on stepside fenders. They're "bumped out" around the light, so you'd have to actually cut the whole area out, then weld in a patch, as far as I know, the pre cut plates only fit into the light hole.

275 sounds like a heck of a deal. You've already said the only difference... the side markers, just cut em out and patch 'em in and you've got a 67 bed :D
