Fiberglass stepside bed question

[bigoates]

Hey all just looking for some input here.

I have been looking for a stepsde bed for my current crew cab project.

I picked up a glass nose a couple weeks ago as some of you already know from the other thread.

I recently found a brand new glass bed that someone is selling and its brand new.

What would be a good $$ to offer him?

I really only need the bedsides so it's kinda a shame that I may be cutting the floor and front panel out of it.

thoughts?

unless you are trying to save some weight by using fiberglass i would buy some steel parts from LMC or some other supplier. Im not sure how you wouls attach the fiberglass sides to the stock bed parts.

I recently saw one of the old custom full fiberglass stepside beds in the bone yard. It was in really nice shape but had no where to put it, or a truck to put it on. not sure if its still there but just bought a 85swb.

Hey, let me back up a little and mention that I am building somewhat of a race truck/monster truck with a full tube chassis.

So to answer your question yes I am looking to save some weight wherever I can.

Attaching the bedsides isn't going to be the issue. I will frame it out of 1/2" square tube etc..

I have searched high and low and have not found any companies that offer the 73-87 glass bedsides.
