97" Longbed
Anyone know which modern bed will fit a 58 3600 with minimal modifications? Thanks

Re: 97" Longbed
same bed, tailgate, steps and fenders 55 thru 66
same bed and tailgate thru the late 80s as for ''modern'' late model beds... i've never seen one that looked right on a tf truck without some serious customizing

So if I can get a bed from a 66 it should fit with just some tweaking? That would be great. Would a 74 be a candidate? I have lines of those |

Re: 97" Longbed
Fleetside body lines won't match post-59 if that's a concern.
Here's my '66 the day we picked it up:  as compared to the side of my '58:

Re: 97" Longbed
not only the bed lines, the 55-59 cab is narrower than the 60-66 cab

Re: 97" Longbed
Thanks Ogre
I'm working on getting a correct bed from another board member as soon as we can figure out shipping |
