the song is from the early 70’s.
Any idea what truck it might have been? Kitted ?

Third pic down. I googled Eagles flat bed ford. Clicked images and got a ton. [;)]
cool. thx for that now to find if it was ever kitted. hopefully there is a kit big enough so I can have the truck hauling a '56 Bel-Air. (the car my daughter wants when her ship comes in)
AMT/Ertl, if memory serves, had a 1/24 Ford Stake-bed kit that might suit your needs.
The stake bed would be big enough–barely–for that Bel-Air.
Although, what this probably needs is to find a flatbed kit of some kind and a F-100 kits, and bash the two together.
Cool idea for a model. [H]
When I listened to that song, I always pictured a 50’s F-100 with a home made wood flatbed in place of the pickup bed.
You see a lot of pickups like that in rural areas, where the original pickup beds rusted out. (of course being from the East Coast, I never stopped to consider that rust might not be a problem in Arizona)
The last time I was in Winslow (about five or six months ago), I saw a real flat-bed Ford at the spot.
