I have a 67 F600 with a near perfect cab. I would love to take the cab and build an F100 short bed. This video shows me how simple it may actually be to build.

I like long beds....
@GorillaCookies Жыл бұрын
The sheet metal used is much thinner than original and the price is just ridiculous in my opinion. Factory short box flair side and style side beds can be found in good shape if you are patient and know where to look. I bought a very straight 72 f100 short bed style side 4x4 for $3500 last year. I bought a clean 71 f100 style side short bed 4x4 in 2020 for $ 2000 , a incredibly clean bodied 68 short flair side f100 2 wheel drive for $500 that was a USDA vehicle also in 2020. It has a 240 inline 6 and np435 with a semi floating Dana 60 with a factory power lock limited slip differential. I have another 68 f100 long bed 2 wheel drive with 390 / C6 that is absolutely gorgeous. I paid $1500 for it in 2017 at a estate sale. Has 47xxx original miles on it. And I have a 69 f250 2 wheel drive 390 / C6 pickup I paid $600 for in 2016. I don't need so many bumpsides but when I go looking for parts and find complete pickups that are too good to pass up. The deals are still out there trust me. There not a chance I'd ever even think about paying such a price for one of those things bed kits if I needed a short bed for a project. Lots of old pick up bed utility trailers can be found for a couple hundred bucks lots of the time and many use short beds that can be restored or occasionally they might even be in good shape. I've bought a few just to resell the beds to someone else who has been looking. And I found them all here locally in Nor Cal. Furthest one from me was only 19 miles. Just have to pay attention and be patient

What’s the price for the panels?

Agree. (Fresno area) I'm looking at this vid because the short bed 72 pickup we bought today was $500 and the bed was rotten. If I could find the whole truck for $500 I'm certain a bed can be found.

Not me. Long bed is king. I think a short bed is disproportioned. You have all that cab no bed. It looks weird, having the front half of the bed so much shorter then the back half. I feel there is a reason that 90% of them was long beds. Probably because it's a truck not a car.
