The bed on our 65 is junk.

We need a new bed bad. We are located in central Oklahoma.

Anyone within driving distance have one for sale?

Please email me if you can help.

short or long bed? What condition?

l8racer · 08-08-2005, 11:10 AM

Sorry about that.
Short in decent shape.
We can deal with a little rust.
Need a decent tail gate too!

Do you weld? Chop a long-dong down to a shorty if so. 12" in front of the arches and 8" behind... There's a short-bed trailer up here I've had my eye on.

I found a SWB trailer here too...I offered to do the entire swap, some cash and even put a new coat of paint on it but he said no deal.

I do weld but not that good.

I have two short fleetside beds in pieces and a decent tailgate for chevrolet. I'm definately within driving distance. $400.00 for enough to make one bed. Let me know.

l8racer · 08-15-2005, 12:11 PM

How many pieces?
Are the angles where the wood bolts in decent shape?

By "angles" do you mean the lips around the edges? If so, they are fine (the lip on the header may need some repair). I have everything but the wood and divider strips. If you are not a welder or able to do minor bodywork (or don't want to, lol), I can repair all the rust and assemble the bed for you (except the wood and dividers). Then it will be $600.00.
