I find that people treat me differently on the road when driving my old truck than when driving a newer one. New is nice but the old ones are more interesting & unique....women don't always think like that...

We've been snatched up and moved in the middle of the night and had our name changed!! Is this the Witness Protection Program or a hostile government takeover???

Bed update...
Ok, after all that prep work on my bed on Saturday, I planned to install it on Sunday but it rained all day. That's kinda unusual for SoCal but whatever. It was clear and sunny this morning so on with the show....
Nobody was around to help me today so I had to figure out a solo route. Here's what I came up with:
I rolled the standing bed on my flat dollies over near my garage, brought it down flat and let it rest on a 5gal bucket. I pulled out my cherry picker and slid under it. I cut a 4x4 to 71.5" to fit under the bedrails and lag-bolted a piece of chain to it. I extended the cherry picker to attach to the chain and lifted the bed. I backed the truck under it and slid everything into place and lowered the bed onto the truck. The rest was easy. I bolted it down, hooked up the taillights, added the tailgate and she was ready to go!
I still have to drill holes for the side trim then prep the bed for paint but as least I have it mobile again.

It worked really well, Rich. I wouldn't mind getting my tank out of the cab too but I don't want the filler tube in the middle of the bed or cut a hole in the side. One guy on a Ford truck forum found a tank from a salvage yard that filled from the rear. He was able to use a pull-down license plate like some of the 60's-70's cars. He has no idea what the tank came out of though. Originally Posted by 406Rich

Randy - most of the '60s and early '70s full size Fords and if I recall, some Torino models had that arrangement - but you will probably lose the spare though. Originally Posted by randyr
