Fleetside long box - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know of anybody who may be stamping 8 foot outer bedsides? You can buy short box sides from almost any place reasonably. Why not log box?

Dean23 · 03-28-2005, 11:18 PM

ya just shortbox side no long fleets. really sucks when you are up here in the rustbelt

*screamin_c102* · 03-28-2005, 11:20 PM

Because none of the aftermarket have come to the realization that size really does matter.

Actually the short fleet is more popular than the long bed and the value is greater. If the value of the completed project is greater, the demand for the bedsides will be greater, because people will be willing to spend more money on it.

or...

Supply and demand...not enough demand to warrant tooling up a production line to stamp them.

I've got an extra long box sitting out back. Great shape, unfortunately I live in Alabama.

Canadian72GMC · 03-28-2005, 11:39 PM

Alabama would only be a 6 day drive.............

I thought Chevy Duty was selling repop long sides?

I just looked and didn't see em. But I do remember seeing them listed there at one time. Guess they weren't a hot seller?

Daks · 03-29-2005, 12:57 AM

I believe it was Chevy Duty that was selling them. They were going for $598 a side if I remember correctly. I just looked as well but couldnt seem to locate them.

68haywagon · 03-29-2005, 01:22 AM

I just sent an email to chevy duty asking about the longbed fleet sides. If I hear back from them I will leave a post about what they say.

Heres the reply I got from my email.

"Those sides came back for awhile but then got discontinued again, to my knowledge it isn't and will not be reproduced."

Guess we are out of luck on new ones.

One place in Canada I know you can get Long box bed sides is www.billstruckshop.com there are a few others I know of but, they are in the States. LMC Truck is one and I could've sworn the Early Classic had them too!? Anyway, I hope I helped.
