Not sure if I'm doing this right or not but here we go. Bought this truck almost a year ago for around 1500 bucks, it had a brand new crate 350 and a worn out 700r4. I thought it was a short bed when I drove the 8 hour round trip ( SHOULD HAVE ASKED ). I was a little disappointed when I got there to see a longbed but the truck was in great shape. Only a small amount of rust in one cab corner, and a small spot under the dash by the vent and like I said brand new motor with paper work . So I went ahead and made a deal,the day I got it home I stripped the bed off and pulled the interior, found a 97' short wide, sure I'm gonna hear some crap over not using a 71 bed, but it's my build. Yall give any advise or ideas yall have thanks.These pictures are a years time bare with me and I will post current pics.
