Is it Possible ?
Can the rails under the bed that attach to the frame be replaced and if so where can I find the replacements? I looked at LMC, Classic Parts, JC Whitney, no one seems to carry them.
I guess if I can find them I can have them made out of some 2”z3” stock but was trying to do it the lazy way.

Re: Is it Possible ?
I have never seen them for sale anywhere... my suggestion would be from a "donor bed"

Thanks for the suggestion, I have looked at a few, most are like mine, the bed itself is in very good shape, but the rails under the box look like mine, full of holes.

Re: Is it Possible ?
No one re pops these, because it's easy enough to just bend them up out of sheet metal. Get a spot weld drill bit, drill out the spot welds that attach them and use whats left of the old ones as a template and bend up some new ones.

Re: Is it Possible ?
ok, thanks. I was hoping that there where aftermarket ones.

Re: Is it Possible ?
Wonder if part #13 could be modified to make work. It's for a stepside but possibly the same and shorter?
