WTB : Bed Assembly from 73-80 Shortbed

Well I finally saved enough money to start some major work on my body. I need a Good Condition bed assembly, bedsides,bed floor, and tailgate. Although tailgate can be optional if its not there. if you happen to have one from a 78' thatd be great but anyting from 73-80 would be perfect! Minimal rust if possible. Post up wat you got! or PM.

Ty

*Fleetside*

oh dang! hmmm.....600 huh. You wouldnt happen to know how good of shape its in do you? Cuz if its in good shape. That might jsut save me some good money. I jsut got a quote for my bed rgiht now. Paint and fixing of dents and everything. was near 2000+ with a new Bedside Included. So if you kno the condition of this bed. I would def. seriosuly consider the buy. Thx

I have one. I believe it has the round hole, will check on it. I pulled it off a truck I built for my ex-wife. She wanted a step side so now I have the short fleet. If you interested, I will take pics and email them to you. The bed is white. We can talk price after you see the pics.
