Got an 81' Silverado... Lookin for a short bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hey guys,
I have an 81 silverado short bed. The dumb A$$ before me ran dual exhaust and did it wrong to where it hit the bed. The bed is repairable but I would rather get a new one. Seeing as im horrible at welding. Anyone with a sort bed for sale (not step-side) give me a shout. Thanks.
Dan

Where do you live? I have some contact numbers to call in the Austin, TX area that might be helpful.

I've own a 73-77 short fleetside in Fresno CA, yet to make it back east with gate and all. Its straight, will need painted but not rotten. One of these days, I hope to get back out to retrieve it and other parts.
