trucks with utility beds (pics wanted)
 

I am really considering buying a 68 3/4 ton 2wd with a utility bed for work. I do construction and have always thought that it would be cool to have one of these trucks with a utility bed on it to work from. Anybody out there have pics of any 67-72 with a utility bed. I just would like to see what others have done with thiers. Thanks

I was in Sacramento in March and there was a plumbing company(I think) that still had quite a few of those in use. I believe it was on Power something drive. You might check with them also.PM sent.

Those are all pretty nice trucks. The jury is still out to whether I am going to get the one I am interested in as I am still waiting for some more pics before I drive up and take a look at it. Please keep the pics coming.

Here's another option from my photo files (not my truck).

Stepside with utility boxes instead of fenders:

That was a very creative option.

ditch the cap and ill take it :metal:

Re: trucks with utility beds (pics wanted)
 

Photos came from a truck listing that was sold on eBay a couple years ago, I think. I liked it too, so I saved the pix.

I agree. Lose the cap.

The original bed wood inside the bed was near-virgin, from having had that topper over it all of its' lifetime.

I have a '71 with a utility bed, just no pics of it. Pretty ugly anyways, but here is a link to one for sale in socal. Been for sale for a while:

"here is a link to one for sale in so cal."

That was the one I was looking for before I sunk all my funds in a 93 C3500 6.5 TD

"Been for sale for a while:"

There must be a real glut of decent trucks in CA.

This truck sold here on the board a few months back.

Jeremy,
I don't want to rain on your parade, but if you run up & down Hwy 80 w/ a utility bed, you'll probably have to got thru the Antelope scales, & any other scales you pass. That'll make you eliegible to be pulled over for an inspection.
The only reason I know this is the mechanic where I work unkowingly "blew" the Cordelia scales while driving the co. service truck; & a CHP dude down the road nailed him for not pulling in.
I don't know what the citation cost him. But whatever the fine was, he'd have been money ahead just staying @ home that day.

That's just my .02. I don't want to see anybody catch unwanted grief.

Or, you may just want to check w/ the CHP 1st.

Re: trucks with utility beds (pics wanted)
 

As long as you`re under 10,000 GVW you should be fine...single wheel.Technically all dual wheel pickups should pass through the scales.
I`m a big fan of utility beds.I ordered low-profile ones when I could afford them.The medium olive 4wd was converted from an enclosed walk-in body and is a standard height utility bed.All mine were Reading.

Re: trucks with utility beds (pics wanted)
 

Was it possible your friend had a truck bigger than a one ton or was hauling or doing something on the questionable side?. I never stop for scales and have never been hassled. I just can't see it happening.

Here is one that I like that is in my home town and it happens to be for sale. http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/car/529235077.html http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...582445f0df.jpg

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: trucks with utility beds (pics wanted)
 

That old service truck has since been replaced; but I'm pretty sure, if memory serves, that it was not a dually.
I do know that the kid got stopped for "blowing" the scales though.
I just threw that previous anecdote out there because I'd hate to see anybody, much less a board member, get racked for a similar problem.

Phone calls are free, tickets cost money.
