Any vendors here have this part? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need short box rear quarters for a fleetside box. I am not looking for complete box sides. I know they don't make this patch anymore but some vendor somewhere must have some stock. I need both sides and possibly the front half as well.

Anyone know of any?

There were Blazer bed halves made qt one time, and I think that LMC even still sells the front halves. However I haven't seen any specificly for the short fleetside beds. The rear lower quarter sections were made at on time, but were junk in my opinion. Like the long bed rear lower quarters they didn't have the line in the wheelwell or the recess that is under the bumper. You will be far better off with new bedsides or good orignals. Good luck. WES

unfortunately as we know, short bed sides and rust free blazer sides are hard enough to find (plus cost prohibitive to get across the border) and i need the blazer box sides. Cutting up a new short bed side is also costly...

Well that sucks. I could have used that part to fix my damaged tail light surrounds and to do the back half of the shortbed conversion at the same time.

Even on the old ones they wraped around but was not cut out for the back up or tailights ???? Also like Wes said they was a poorley stamped part.
