    Tailgate curve

    Would anyone be so kind as to snap some pics sighting down these panels to see if they are straight or curved. My buddy is about to paint it and if it's normal we will just leave it be.

    Bowed bed panels

    Hey guys, I have a friend doing the body and paint on my 76 shortbed fleetside. We noticed that both the tailgate and front bed panel have an even bow facing rearward. Is this normal? I think I have noticed this on other squarebody trucks but I can't be sure. The tailgate is original and the...

    It's weird, both the tailgate and bed front panel are bowed the same direction and the same amount, and the front panel is a new old stock that hasn't seen any use

    86 cab to 76 truck

    Ok, this is more than I want to get into. I'll hold off for a correct year range cab. There's a company I can probably get one for $2k shipped if I wait a little while.
