I saw that one hanging today and almost bought it... I will probably go back and buy it if it is still there in a couple days...

I know this has been discussed, but the bed does seem to hang down crookedly from the cab. I just took my County roads Dodge pickup and drilled it out. With the installation of a couple machine screws (adjusted just so), I'm realigning the bed so's that it's flush w/ the cab. While at it, I'm replacing those ho-hum Black-hub wheels w/ a set of cragar's. Pics to follow in a day or two, so stay tuned.

Looking forward to the pics :thumbsup:

Sounds like a great fix.

Looking forward to the fix pics. Sounds like a nice improvement

I picked that one up yesterday. It has very nice detail!

Saw 2 of these Dodges hanging today. Both had their backs arched like a Halloween black cat, but I still love the detail on them, especially the grille. (I love old trucks anyway) Interesting idea you had to fix it.

Hope they hang til a week or two after Christmas when I have money to spend on myself again.

The JL 1964 Chevy Pickup had the same "bent in the middle" look, but I still had to have it.

I bought the truck by mail order , & was dissappointed that is was flat black . I fixed mine by clear coating it & putting on some chrome wheels also .. Did the same to the county roads truck - put some silver wheels on it to brighten it up ...
