I bet some of the Ford fanatics might cringe at the thought of what you are up to.
I have always liked those high clearance oil field service beds. Seen some sweet lifted trucks running them.
Thanks, I removed the original bed because I needed access to both fuel tanks, both of the front stake pockets had severe stress cracks from I believe the camper hold downs and it had a flip over ball under the camper that had rusted/loose bolts.
I still have NOS, still in boxes,
Ford bedsides for both sides and the original bed I will stash away for the next owner.
I have been trying to decide on a general look for this truck.
Military = Camo or Desert Sage, stencil tire pressure, push bumper/brush guard and such
Emergency Response= Red or Neon Green, lightbar, spotlights etc
Forestry= Light green, brush protectors and winches on both ends, spotlights..
Regardless of theme/color it is getting equipped the same.
Boss V Plow.
Custom bumper with winch.
LED work lights all around.
Some type of crane or slide in tow unit. I have a few or source a 220 or 440.
Full compliment of hand tools, small air compressor, torch set.
