One of our service trucks here at work is a factory cab chassis K20 Chevy, purchased new by the Burlingon-Northern Railroad (has all paperwork in glovebox)
The 8' service box has seen a better day, the rest of the truck is mint... so dad asked me to watch for another box. Understandably nice service bodies commonly on 1980's trucks generally are not any better than what we have now. But they are common for things like Superduty trucks. Do they make them in a one size fits all type deal or are they pretty specific?
I have seen 90's Chevy beds on 60's Chevy pickups (looks goofy) so I think GM is pretty universal... but the Ford to GM thing could be a getcha.
