So what do you all think, do we keep them crazy frenched in tailights or yank them and weld the holes back up smooth and mount the standard round Mickey Mouse stock tailights?

Re: Restoring Rusty
Looks like a nice solid bed

Re: Restoring Rusty
Standard lights. Kind of want to throw one on mine as well rather than the fleetside it's supposed to have. I just like the style.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Uh Oh..Sounds like trouble.
Great news if you do come over to the stepside crowd. The round lights down low with a sport bumper would be sweeet..Just sayin. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I'm so jealous now. Darn you. Can you get the other stepside bed and drop it off at my house for my birthday and Christmas please. I promise to use it.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Just saw the pictures, that would make an awesome mobile fire pit. Sweet buy.

removed the tailgate, removed the bolt on one side and the round spinny thingie and then it slid off to one side

took the "frontgate" off (I'm coining that term) sucker wouldn't slide all the way out (up or down) until I got one of the sides loose and moved out of the way

just like with the fleetside, you have to cut the welds in the lower corners of the tailgate in order to take the sides off
|

I also took a stab at the scratch on that fender, and since I don't own a dolly set yet, this is the best I could do for now

I am seriously wondering if bondo was on sale when they built / painted this thing in the first place, I considered using a hammer and a chisel to get it all off, ha ha
pretty sure I am going to weld in those rectangular holes (they seem to be in a level / flat section and should be pretty easy to patch) and go back to stock taillights |
Re: Restoring Rusty
Watcha got planned for that Model A frame? A future street rod maybe?
