Re: My Build - 1955 2nd Series Short Bed Stepside

Okay, well after thinking long and hard I just couldnt see myself building a whole other 55-59 project, as they are both time consuming and expensive to put together, heck im 12+ years into mine and its not done. So I had 2 choices, put the fleet on my truck and off my nice step, or just get another truck to satisfy my need for a short fleet, and move this bed on. As luck were to have it, i chose the ladder.
Made a small profit on the bed, moved it on to a good new home where it will be making a happy 1955 pickup a nice fleet conversion.
What did i get to satisfy my short fleet itch?? well some of you guys will frown, others wont... but I found a Ford F100 that was just too good to pass up... (for a price ill never get a chevy for!!!!)
runs, drives, NO rust.




Anyways, back to the chevy. I finally took a photo of the truck with the new bed on it. With this bed, i just couldnt justify dumping this bed for the fleet... I also like the small touch of having the rear bed rail holes filled.
