One of the best come backs and mine are more of being beating on people then this guy well put thank you.

Now i will add to your statement that a lot of guys that are doing it thinking they will get the same amount of money as a factory one would get.

The first ones that are being build sure cus of supply and demand.But in the later years when people find out you have a Clone truck of what they are the market will drop from under you.

I'm talking about the guys cutting up long beds to short bed fleet sides.

Back in 1995 and 2010 hot rod did a story on clone car's Like the lemons and the GTO lots of clones out there.

But the short bed fleet side is a fad it will last for a while it was like extend cabs back in 1995 all the old chevy truck from 1955-66 where stretching cab's you see many out there to day

NO

Yes the short bed will stick around but the cheep way on how they well the beds back to gather will bleed throw the paint.

talk to any body guy a weld is hard to cover over time it likes to show its ugly head like on the 1967-69 Camaro's where the quarter panel meet the roof after some time paint cracks.shows them hidden welded spots

remember metal expands when you put a cutting torch to it an all the places where there trying to reconnect it

Me i rather by the brand new bed sides no weld marks ever.

But make sure that you know what your buying.

Some ones hack job be careful some of them job are not undo able and they wind up in my hands and i hate to do it and i get pissed but have no choise but to scrap a once Nice truck
