Here's an example of the frame work mounted type I mentioned that is made for your '77 (they also have the short bed version if that's what you've got). The good thing about these is you don't have to drill holes in the body that can lead to rust. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SNAP-...spagenameZWDVW
If you must have the type that snaps to the body then you're most likely looking at custom made as I haven't seen then commercially in about 20 years.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

In my part of this fair country we call it the rust belt - and those screw on body snaps on a pickup were sure to create 40-50 rust holes in the top of the bed. The aluminum framed version is the only kind I'll use and have since they first came out. Any of my "before '01" trucks went either with a cap or nekkid (so I could shovel out the bed when we got snow).
This is what I have for my 06 F350 and this shows one for a '77 F100:

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
