Has anyone on here removed bed side spears on there 58-59 fleetside?
Hey guys,has anyone removed the spears from the bed side of a 58/59 fleet side?been searching on here but haven't found any post or pictures,I'm thinking about doing it to my 58,I know I'm probably going to get some heat for thinking about doing it but what do you guys think? I love the bed side of cameo but this is as close as I can get to one.I found pictures of a 57 truck called Quick silver and really like the it looks.Any input would be appreciated.

GM did it 60-66 but the profile would not work with the TF cabs. I have always felt that the spears were one of the defining features, but also get the concept on the silver truck. Not hard to do, but that would be one big slab of metal to get correct.

not getting much heat here
i'm a firm believer in ''make it your own'' the 57 does look good fyi the 57 has a 58 or 59 bed on it, the fleetside bed was introduced in 58 while i'm liking fleetside trucks more and more, the side spears do date the bed
