capitalking Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 any pics, or post re: bed removal? call me odd, but i've always fancied the utilitarian look of a flatbed, or just a tool boxed pickup. i don't necessarily need the bed, so who knows....

Pete M Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 If you've got a rust free bed, you'd better be finding it a new home. :D Here's a couple pics of what the frame looks like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Do all the years have a different style frame? Like how the X in the frame is different in the last pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Not sure. Could be a longbed/shortbed thing. I notice that the first 2 have the rear shackle a bit in front of the end of the frame and the last one is right at the end of the frame. I'll run over to mine and see what's up.

Motion Offroad Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just take into consideration once the bed comes off you'll need to think about what your going to do with the gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just take into consideration once the bed comes off you'll need to think about what your going to do with the gas tank. To be more precise, the gas tank is mounted to the bed, not the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeNew Name Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah I agree with pete... if the bed is rust free... you should be finding a new home for it.. don't be one of those meat heads that destroys a perfectly good box.. cause he wants it outta his garage NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalking Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 i appreciate all the replies. damn helpful. all this being said, in about a month or so i'll have a rust-free shortbed available. it's kind of red right now, and the "sportruck" decals blew off during a it's first pressure wash after about 4 years of sitting. so, it's left with a stick residue that still reads "sportruck". classy.

capitalking Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 i didnt realize there was such a demand for them, then again i am still new to the whole MJ thing. nonetheless, i will def'ly post when i've removed it so whoever wants/needs it can take it away.

Any comanche specific part is in very high demand..even such simple things like emblems and side vents, so if you are ever getting rid of anything make sure to ask here first or craigslist it :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 On top of that, bed sides for our trucks are not being made anymore, and not available anywhere. So the only way to fix a rusted out bed is to cut a bunch of small patch panels out of Cherokee fenders and doors, or get a whole bed somewhere. And those are getting harder to find as well.

capitalking Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 i try to refrain from any needless disposal of auto parts....someone's always out there in need. my bed has some slight surface rust, and maybe a ding or two but overall it's in pretty good shape.
