1953\u20131979 Ford 8-Foot Stepside Flareside Long Box with Tailgate, Bumper & Lights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rare opportunity to source a complete 8-foot Ford Stepside\/Flareside long-box bed assembly<\/strong> from the classic Ford truck era. This hard-to-find long-bed stepside truck box<\/strong> is being offered as a complete package with the tailgate, rear bumper, lights, frame, and leaf springs<\/strong>, making it an especially interesting option for a vintage Ford restoration or custom truck build.<\/p>\n

The bed is in great overall condition considering its age<\/strong>. Both rear fenders have some rust concentrated along the lower sections, but the important underlying bed structure is reported to be in very good condition. The underside crossmembers and supporting structure look great<\/strong>, providing a solid foundation for restoration.<\/p>\n

    Rare Vintage Ford Stepside Long Box<\/h3>\n

    The 8-foot Stepside\/Flareside configuration<\/strong> makes this a particularly interesting find for anyone working on a vintage Ford pickup. Long-bed stepside trucks have become increasingly sought after for classic Ford restorations, period-correct builds, hot rods, rat rods, farm-truck restorations, and custom vintage pickups<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Rather than purchasing a bare bed and spending additional time sourcing the associated components, this package includes the tailgate, bumper, lights, frame, and leaf springs<\/strong>. That makes it an excellent starting point for a complete restoration or chassis project.<\/p>\n

    Bed Structure & Restoration Potential<\/h3>\n

    While the lower portions of both fenders have rust, the underside crossmembers and structural components are in notably good condition<\/strong> for a truck bed of this age. The existing wood floor is still in decent shape, although its originality has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

    The tailgate is in excellent condition<\/strong>, which is an important advantage when restoring a vintage stepside box. The included frame and leaf springs further expand the potential uses of this assembly for a complete classic Ford project.<\/p>\n

    Ideal for Classic Ford Builds<\/h3>\n

    This rare assembly is particularly suited to searches for vintage Ford 8-foot stepside bed, Ford Flareside long box, classic Ford truck bed, 1950s Ford stepside bed, 1960s Ford long bed, 1970s Ford Flareside bed, 8-foot Ford stepside replacement bed, vintage Ford pickup restoration parts, classic Ford truck box with tailgate, and Ford long-bed restoration project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    $2,500 for the complete box, tailgate, bumper, lights, frame, and leaf springs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Because this is a vintage Ford component and configurations changed considerably across model years, verify the exact year, model, wheelbase, bed mounting arrangement, fender configuration, and other dimensions before purchasing.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
