Re: a bed of a different kind
Hi Kim, You bed looks great. My Brother's bed needs restored & instead of doing that I'd like to see him put a non stock bed on it to make it different.
Any more beds of a different kind out there? Don Meyer |

Hey Don, don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but I never did get a chance to find out what you used for a bed for your truck, if it's something mass produced or custom?

I did mine this way to try and be a little different from stock. I have it set up to tilt for easy access to the rear. Kim |

Surfer...It's a late model full size Chevy bed. Its been narrored, Fenders narrored & welded on and Caddy fins. Store bought roll pan & tail gate narrored the same amount as the bed. It took 600 hrs.

Re: a bed of a different kind
wow don, that's awesome. Got a shot of it on the truck by chance?
I was tempted to put caddy fins on my bed, but never found the donor fins. Now my truck is in pieces, but I really dig that unique bed! |M| Oh, do you ever go down to moroso?
