What do you mean by a "Stout" bed?

What do you mean by a "Stout" bed?

The early 2wheel drive Toyota small P.U's were called Stout's, just like later ones were called hilux

John- I still have that new one from Heritage Sheet Metal here in Delta that I was telling you about.........

I won't be using it anytime soon and I would love to get rid of it.

What is a stout bed

Here is a picture of the bed that came with it.

Save those tail light buckets, there the same as a 45

Buckets

yeah, I probably should have posted that. The buckets are not for sale separatley.

How much do you want for the "Stout" bed?

the stout tailgate chains are almost identical to 45 chains, same hook and mount but 1 link too long.

Wow, cool project. Where in CO did you find it?

 

[jschmi71]

I actually found it in Washington. It needs a lot of work, but it's a 45 so I jumped on it.

Just out of curiousity are the dimensions of of the stout bed the same as the lwb?

 

[jschmi71]

The wheels appear to be in the same place, but the Stout bed is shorter overall. You can see in the pictures the frame come past the bed, but the front is butted very close to the cab. It could work though.

I happen to be making a LWB bed from scratch in a "1978 style" for a Mud member in Colorado over the next three or four weeks (ok, maybe five). I am making one for myself at the same time and these will be my first "prototype" attempts with a few relatively minor discrepancies compared to original. If you're not looking for concours correct I would love to make one for you. Let me know if you're interested.

What price are you looking for?

 

[Awl_TEQ]

Well I don't quite know yet. I am buiding the prototype right now and really should finish before I decide on an asking price. I am hoping to keep it under $3000. If you have a little time before you need it just keep watching my thread(s) as I progress. If you're wanting one I could always sell you mine and make another one (as I mentioned in the post above I am making two to start). The other one is going to Colorado and we (the buyer and I) have a tentative deal where we meet in Montana and he hauls it South. That would keep your shipping to a minimum if you were to split the cost of fuel etc. There is also US customs to pay but I am not certain of the duty. It may be 2.5% but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Feel free to send me a PM for more info.

I already have purchased one for the one I have, but interested in what the final price will be for future ones. Tahnsk for the info!

Good for you . I will of course be posting up in my thread as I work towards a final selling price. A side note: if your new bed needs any patch panels etc. I will also be able to supply parts and pieces of the beds.
