FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I too have ended up being told I did the same thing on another forum but using a lousy old smart phone which in my case is a Crapple diePhone 5C and posting on forums with this POC is like sending a text message LOL!
Paragraph number two(LMAO):
The story was more than a great contribution to this forum and I never even knew these pickup box accessories existed along with the fact I am looking at a 1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe that is for sale in my area!
It has a poorer quality older restoration including improper upholstery material but still has the original mechanical brakes, is very stock and totally unmolested or modified!
Given this now I'm pondering on the value as it's on an online auction.

You can go to the Old Cars Weekly web site and look at their price guide to get an idea of what you want to pay for the car. At the end of the transaction a car is worth what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller at a certain time.

An example is that I want $50,000 for my car and you want to pay $25,000. After negotiations we agree on $38,000. Two day after the transaction is completed, I receive an offer for $40,000. The car is still worth $38,000 because I don't have it for sale and cannot complete the transaction.

It is with regret that I have to report that this car and its story have now faded into streetrod history. I tried to buy it, and contemplated one day too long after I looked at it. I didn’t need another project (don’t many of us have that problem) but my wife finally convinced me to go ahead and buy it. I called the owner (not the original poster. He had sold it) to purchase it and as luck would have it…the newest owner was leaving with it on a trailer while I was on the phone. Oh well. Good news though!!! I was able to buy the bed with all the brackets. My plan is to put it in an unrestored, original coupe and drive it while telling the story of the bed. BTW-I am now the proud owner of two of these beds. I would say I have the market cornered. Lol
