Designed to be the best-looking truck beds on the market, they also offer unmatched ease of installation. Each bed is expertly fabricated from high-quality 16-gauge steel, ensuring strength and longevity. To enhance durability and streamline the painting process, we offer an optional epoxy primer application. With this primer in place, the beds require only about two coats of high-build primer, followed by block sanding and painting, to achieve a flawless finish.\r\n\r\nUnlike traditional truck beds that require extensive preparation before painting, Pro’s Pick Truck Beds feature a seamless design. Our pockets are securely epoxy-glued into place instead of being spot-welded, eliminating the need for tedious prep work and saving you valuable time. This innovative approach ensures a sleek, professional appearance while maintaining structural integrity.\r\n\r\nNote: All Pro's Pick front panels and bedsides are smooth (not embossed) with closed stake pocket holes.\r\n\r\nFits 1953-72 Ford\r\n\r\n**This specific bed kit is 5\" wider than stock giving you a wider and more custom look at the rear of the truck!
