Wanted 75 series pickup bed

[pawnthatdude]

Vehicle Model

1. 70 Series

Putting feelers out there for finding a new 75 series bed, if one can be found. Looking for 045 white, no rust, and hopefully the GCC stripes of the era (see reference photo).

Can get NTO 79 series beds all day long. Just need 1?

Hoping to avoid converting a 79 bed if possible

Don't wanna be a debbie downer but you'll probably be much farther ahead chopping a 79 bed.

It might come to that but I am not in much of a hurry right now

75 beds are probably available out of the GCC. Maybe someone like @Bardiya in DXB can assist? Or maybe @Meshal out of KSA.

It is going to be hard to find a clean 75-bed. If you have a problem with the floor rust, I recommend getting a new floor or a 79 bed and cutting it from the door sides.

The stripes here are 1997, and I can provide a new set, but they aren’t cheap. There is an aftermarket printed in South Africa, and they are reasonably good. But not like oem.

Those are true, japan printed strips and i have a fetish collocating them; you can see the gas outlet cut for the daul tank version.

I forgot to mention that you may find a brand-new parts for bed but i haven't try because we have a plenty of them in the junk yard for cheap and brand new. They remove them from new trucks to repurposed them.

Thanks it's good to confirm the stripes are still available.

oem, not really

Pretty easy to shorten a 79 bed

You should PM @cppilot on a 70 series bed.

You should PM @cppilot on a 70 series bed.

He already kindly messaged me, but his is a dual cab bed.
