That all changed at the pick n pull I came across a 68 Longhorn with original paint. I imagine it had a camper on most it's life, judging from the condition of the bed. I literally had both wheel tubs removed in a matter of 10 minutes. I have never been able to remove bed bolts before without over tightening and snapping them off. These are the nicest original paint tubs I have ever seen, and they are the last pieces I needed before I turn my truck over to paint prison...
Man! I sure miss that place-went to a pick-n-pull here in Nashville and some a**hole stole my new 1/2 in impact -man I am still pissed!!1
