Here's the only pics I have of it and they aren't really good bed shots, but it will give you a little of an idea. It's an 8ft diamond plate steel flatbed with two aluminum diamond plate steel toolboxes, and it really needs a coat of rustoleum!!! The main thing I like about the flatbed is the rub rails on it, then when I am out in the mud I don't really have to worry about rubbing against trees, just gotta get the cab by!!

Well if you every want to camoe up to Delaware, the junk yand closest to me has (for how long, how knows) roughly 6 LB dodges. For my 78 i picked up a rust free bed w gate (absolutley beutiful before they accidently put a dent in it with the fork lift) for $100, 2 rust free, straight doors for $90, and hood for $35. This thing had 54,000 garaged miles and it has air and cruise and v-8, and I had to get them to take the car that was set on top of it off, the owner sees old truck as (heavy steel) so most go to the crusher whole. 3 of the truck are 80's vintage so they will work out
i also scored a Jeep gladiator front end for $25
PM me if you need stuff.

Well I had a little fun this weekend..
I put in a New master cylinder, air filter, fuel filter, changed oil, changed tranny fluid, new power steering pump, some new hoses, new wheel cylinder, cleaned engine bay and drove it to Burlington and back ... man this thing has some pulling power..
While in Burlington, NC we put it in 4 wheel drive hocked up a truck just on leaf springs and when i took off i could not even tell there was anything behind it
then of course it got stuck in 4 low so we got under truck and found out the problem stupid little locking pin popped out. so all is better now...
I think it needs and alignment but for the 1st run it ran very very well..

Ya now it is all the little things I need to work on..
Rear brake lights, runnning lights, odometer, tach, hood release, emergency brake (in cab foot lever broke), clean inside panels, etc....
Will take some time but I think it should be a good truck..
