Re: Will it work?
i like those beds too. i like those whole trucks for that matter. i think it would be cool to add those rocket things to a 60-66 bed. i also would like to see pics.
thanks, John

Re: Will it work?
sure it CAN work, with a little bit of work. my 60 is sitting on a mid 70's blazer frame and the guy that started this truck messed up the bed real bad. so i go a bed from a late 70s-early 80's dodge. the mounts are a little different and is going to take a bit of enginuity, but it CAN work with enough effort. i think that since its a gm product that you shouldn't have to do too much modifying. the reasons why i'm going with a dodge bed is cause the step side bed that i'm using is in better shape than mine, i knew the guy, and availability. will post photos when i'm done

Re: Will it work?
That's an understatement!....That's a '60-'63 with a crap load of work done to it. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that truck
![]() Now back to Sam59's question....it should work, but IMHO to make it look right, you may have to graft the two beds together to keep the body lines continuous.

Re: Will it work?
Check out IF customs webiste, they did all the framework for that truck, and Grant Kustoms did all the sheetmetal work.

Re: Will it work?
I've got a bunch of pics of that truck, but I'm not gonna hijack this thread. I'll look for a link for ya.
Are you just wanting to put the spears on the 63 or a whole 58-59 bed? The spears wouln't be a problem and should look cool but the bed bodylines would not line up nor look good at all IMO. Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 08-11-2007 at 01:04 AM. |
