Short bed style sides? need help pleeaassees

TexasNomad · Jan 11, 2009

Well I went to a reef club meeting to day and started talking to this guy and come to find out he! owns a custom truck shop and he said he can chop my frame for under 500 bucks! he went to say it would be allot cheaper if I could just find a short bed to put on the shorten truck, I really want to do this but the bad thing is my truck is a rarer race track style side, dose any one know if they made a short bed race track style side?
Or could I just cut the moldings to fit my now shorter bed?
Any help would be great thanks guys smiliegitrdone

I would cut it down yourself, then you know its completly custom and how freakin cool would that be??

TexasNomad · Jan 11, 2009

that would be f-ing cool Doc! but thats going to cost me about 3 grand to cut the bed

and well I have a very...... tight budget

lil_dq · Jan 11, 2009

Can you cut it yourself and save some money?

TexasNomad · Jan 11, 2009

Man, your truck is soo nice and if I were you I would just leave it alone and get a shortbed, unless you mean the project truck. Just dont mess up the blue one, please...

lil_dq · Jan 11, 2009

TexasNomad · Jan 11, 2009

Why dont you just buy this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...418QQitemZ200295522418QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks

Pay at the most $400 to ship it to Texas and then restore it, its already in running order so you are already ahead in the game. 300 I6, 4speed, 4x4. Put a nice big carburetor on it and you are set.
