bed sides

[2tankin79]

Hey, on www.usbody.com they have some fiber glass bed sides, and say

73-87 Fleetside Bedside...
Features:
- Smooth grey gellcoat exterior finish - Fiberglass textured Black
Lacquer inner.
- Skin Only - Will not bolt to stock location

skin only-will not bolt to stock location??
what is "skin only"??

also, what would it take to fill in the tail light holes? seein as how i have a rollpan with corvette tails, my stock holes etc are gone for the original tails, and not sure how i would go about filling the holes for the lights on the fiberglass.

thanks, Jeff

on our trucks the sides of the bed bolt into the wheel tubs floorboard rear wall etc. this is a skin it means it wont bolt in you have to cut up your existing bedside and glue this thing in
as for getting rid ofthe taillight holes there is a piece of plastic or metal or maybe even glass you can buy seperately and cover up the holes then put fiberglass or filler over it to make it smooth
my advice stick to metal bedsides

ah ha, i see, thanks for the info and advice, seems dumb to cut up the existing piece, just to ''glue'' that in, hmm.. oh well

thanks, Jeff

actually, that's a race piece. its mostly held on with dzus fasteners, or soemthing similar. usually not really a "bed" there, just soem bedsides and some tin inside to make it look that way.
