Heres the deal:

Been sandblasting a bed I bought my 71 SWB and have determined that the wheelhouses have to go.... small rust pinholes around the edges...and overall just bumpy and lumpy. Being that I also uncovered some rust-through on the 'rolled top' of the front panel I am going to have to break the bed down anyway to replace it. Fortunately the only nice piece left on my original bed was the front panel...so that's taken care of.

Anyone got a NICE set of wheelhouses for sell? I mean NICE. Even new repro's will be ok...providing they fit right. Any of our vendors running them on 'special' at the moment?

Also, whats the trick for sealing the wheelhouses to the bed floor? What type of sealer?

Thanks.
