Title: Bed Compartment
Post by: chevyboy73 on April 25, 2013, 09:49:55 pm: so i was looking at old brochures, trying to find a color (which i never found...) and i came across this magazine ad. I have never seen one. Do any of you guys have one or took pics of one? looks cool!

Post by: Jason S on April 27, 2013, 01:03:56 am: I've only seen one truck with it, actually it was with the box but without the door... Along the same lines of Blazin's comments; for Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico they were more common on Ford trucks of that era than the GMC/Chevy trucks.
