I really like that bed rack setup! Is it an 82 short bed deluxe?

I'm liking what I can see of that rack as well. It looks like a well thought out, functional set-up. Is it attached to the floor of the bed or reach thru to the frame under the bed?

'83 short bed deluxe, and the rack is quite cool in my humble opinion

Bolts into the bed. It's a pretty nice setup. Tailgate still works and can get to the toolbox easily. There's a Jerry can and high lift jack secured in the bed as well.

Beautiful truck gtcarter, I'm really liking that cup holder as well. I don't have the original center console to my 83 so something like that would be really nice to have.

It is definitely period correct with the golden oak finish, chrome trim and cup holders designed to accommodate real cups.
