    I have exhausted my search for a bed for my f100 long bed. I keep finding repops for the older trucks and the newer ones. Does anyone know if they repop the 63s?

    Dang, I figure you should be able to buy a whole 63 ford truck cheaper than a repop bed even if they did make em. which I doubt especially for a long bed, but maybe???

    Dont get me wrong I like the long bed 60s fords, Ive owned a few but I would just be real surprised if anyone made a repop bed for em.

    I think that bed was used from 57-64. Try searching back to 57 if you are looking for that style. They called them wrong beds in the early 60's until they came out with the beds that matched the cab and fenders in 64 or 65. Try Sacramento Vintage Ford maybe. Good luck with the hunt.

    I'm with you. I'm at a loss. Thanks for the info I didn't realize the 57s were the same.

    The stepside bed used the same basic design fenders from 53 to 79

    I would go for a 64 to 66 wide bed if they would work out the same.

    Found a 60 bed but it's definitely different. I'm guessing I need a 62-67

    or this? Ford may have had both styles in 63 as that was the changing over year???

    The bed is completely gone so I would take either! The first pic is the one I'm used to always seeing.

    The first one is the one I would want on a 63, you will eventually find one, maybe someone on here will shoot you a PM about having one.

    Yeah, here's hoping. Truck was a great deal. Maybe not such a great deal without the bed. Live and learn haha
