After a couple of months of searching I discovered that pristine dual tank short beds are indeed hard to come by. Most are pretty beat up and apparently some sellers dont understand what "no rust" means. I was excited to finally locate a bed it would require minimal prep for paint. I was also curious as to why it was available.

I asked what the story was and the shop owner shared the details. The truck was a low mileage 87 Silverado. The "custom conversion" paint was sun baked but the truck was a solid Texas truck. One corner of the cab had some damage that required welding to repair. A spark from the welding got under the carpet and went unnoticed till it was too late. The fire smoldered for a while before being discovered, and destroyed the cab and the project.

Its unfortunate that someones project was totaled, but I was blessed to find a donor bed for Crewcab Jake.
