A while ago I talked about a 71 3/4 4X4 GMC that I'm getting and still sight un-seen I did send my buddy back up there with a list of things to look for.
We now know it's a 71 GMC with a D60 rear and a D44 Front 350/350/205 No rust (that has been found) on the Cab. It is a long bed with a one piece utility (sp) Bed I had hoped for the one that Longhorn talked about.

Now to the question I have seen trucks with the newer beds just how hard is it to put one on a 70's frame? And if anyone has a pic of a long bed throw it up. Thanks

Oh when I get up there this coming weekend I'll get pic's
