Bed sides and body panels
 

Hey everyone, I need some help.

In my neverending search for a SWB Fleetside box I have been looking at building a brand new aftermarket box. Problem is I cant find any place that has all the panels I need, and if I do they are all made in Taiwan junk.

I know Ill have to do some "adjusting" on these aftermarket panels but I just dont want to waste money on some that are POS.

Anyone know of quality repro panels that I can buy a whole box?

Thanks

You won't find ANY company in the US that is making bodypanels for these, so....

I have a new set of NOS GM beds sides I bought for a resto,But changed my mind and went with a stepside instead.Paid $800.00 each,I didn't want to mess with that aftermarket stuff!!!!!! I have seen them go for $1000.00 + each !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok thats a blow to my plans lol. Is it possible to build a whole new box from aftermarket panels? If so which company do you recommend?

captkaos sells them as a site vendor and so does Tripro automotive also a site vendor both i can personally attest they sell decent stuff

I don't believe all the parts are availible to do the entire box. If its from TriPlus they do not offer them right now. We DO sell the box side skins with no inner panels. the floors are availible the front panels and wheel houses and tailgates are also. No one is making the inner panels to my knowledge. OEm beds are still out there and I would still try and find a good used one. We sell and work with aftermarket parts every day. I''ll be honest with you,Its hard to beat the OEM parts on older trucks. We ***** alot about the aftermarket parts and we sell the best availible like most but we make them work.
You can use a late model floor in a SWB or a step side also.

I don't sell bedsides anymore, and I concur with Mike on the availability.

Are these short bed box sides?

Re: Bed sides and body panels
 

There is an outfit in Ontario Canada called Pros Pic that sells complete new beds for our trucks. If I remember right they cost about $3000 plus shipping.

Wow thats insane. Ok then what is the best area to look for used shortboxes in good shape? And how much can I expect to pay for a good box?

Thanks

Yes,SWB,I think the fuel door is on the left side,and they are still in GM box's.
