Why are you going to a flatbed? Your box doesnt look that bad. Some people down south think that your car is an electric when they see a cord hanging out the front.

Trust me Greg, my box is rotten. All the angle strip that bolts the box to the wood bed is gone, all the wheel well seams are let go and rusted, it has a few layers of bondo that is starting to crack and show up. Plus, I want something a bit out of the normal for these trucks. Around here, there aren't any 67-72 flatbeds in operation right now. I know of one, but's it's being stripped for parts and the chassis is being scrapped. If you know of anyone that might want some parts, I could get some pics of what he has left.
You wouldn't believe how many of our American neighbours have stopped while visiting Flin Flon and asked why that is there. And when I pop the hood and they see that 110 box on the fender well,they just get plain confused, ------------------ currently 1972 Long fleetside 250, inline 6 with 3 speed manual Soon to have a freshened up 350 staying with the 3 spd new rally wheels fresh paint custom flatbed with stacks!!!

Actually up here in Canada we went the ecological route a long time ago by going to electric powered vehicles. Those who had the foresight to go into the very very long extension cord business ended up mega billionaires! It also added a new angle to the statement "I've reached the end of my rope".
