I’d love to get my hands on that pickup box. I don’t like the wheelbase the AMT Firestone truck has. Do you still have any of those beds left?

I don't think you'll get an answer from MJ, Leif, he hasn't been on here in almost 6 years.

Oh, Ok, Thanks.

Yes, old thread, but interesting, build shows how much better, IMO, the standard wheelbase bed looks. The stretch wheelbase F 350 bed was probably used on less than 10% of '73-'79's pickups, yet the geniuses at AMT used it. Probably not a good business decision.  Oh, well, more opportunities for the aftermarket $$$$.

Last I knew Kris Morgan at Morgan Automotive Detail was doing the standard long bed. I don't see it on his site but it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.
