I was going to, but just used a short bed side, cut it down and welded it on, it turned out pretty good for a lot less money

Theres been talk before on here about the new sides. People that have used them seem to like them and related good fit .

I have a set installed on my 72 and they fit pretty well with some massaging

What kind of massaging did they need? I am not having much success with the one bedside I am trying to install. Seems like there are a few crucial differences compared to the oem piece.

I had done a short bed skin on the original bedside last year but I wasn't completely happy with how it was so I thought I would go the repro bedside route. Beginning to think that was a mistake.

They worked well for us. Not a tremendous amount of massaging in our case. They don't come with capture nuts for single wall tops (any top holes of any kind actually), or the nutserts for the rear top to body bracket. Other than that they're pretty complete jam to gate. You can click on my build link at the bottom and check em out more...got mine at So. Kentucky Classics too.
