Any one know of any junk yards with rust free sheet metal? I want to call around and see if I can find a clean 70's style long bed for my macho and have it shipped back. Thanks for any help .

Found this one on ebay but it's hard to say what's under the fresh green paint. Also did all long beds have the provision for second gas tank hole in the bed? I noticed this one has it in the bed and was thinking it had the hole on the outside at one time and it got welded up and mudded over which I do not want.

Pretty much ALL body work gets a skim coat these days

The provision does not exist on vehicles without the second gas tank option (at least on all my trucks) so this has been repaired if there is no matching gas tank hole

I just hate buying something that has had body work done to it as you don't really know what kind of work they did to it. I want something in original paint.

Only damage is the small dent in front of tank filler.

I don't know how many of those I've thrown away. It seems like all the clean ramchargers that I've found have them.

What year trucks? I want to say mine have had the hump inside but can't confirm. I'll have to check. But I only have one or two that arent dual tank beds.

I have a 74x2,75x2 and a 78 and none of them have it. I do have a 75 with dual tanks and a behind the seat tank, that person had fun on the option sheet.

My 76 D100 SWB 2WD has the provision in the box for the 2nd rear mounted fuel tank, but it does not have dual tanks. The body and paint are unaltered and original. Josh-

Here's another 8ft bed that will get shipped back to the midwest sometime. No rust and in pretty good shape! Price depends on location! Where are you located?

You don't have a bed to measure? They are about 400-500lbs
