Hey gang quick question
I’m looking for a good bed to replace the short bed on my 79 macho and was wondering what was the last year of that style of bed? I’m trying to find the newest least rusted one I can find.

Thanks Chris

Long or short?

'80 was last year and probably the best

rust proofed.

Real nice bed's have become very hard to find

even here on the left coast. Easier to evaluate from

pics if you know it's original paint. Floors are a concern

to, as they are hard to make perfect.

any suggestions on rust prevention? what can we do to
prolong the rust if we are t repaint the beds.

Thanks

Always a good idea to make sure there is no dirt
or debris in the wedge between the inner fender
and the wheel lip. If you remove your tail lights
you can pressure wash the area. Best to do on
a nice hot dry day.

Probably goes w/o saying but it's a good idea
to make sure your beds are draining. Rattle can
areas where the paint has worn off.
