Shortbeds in east tennessee? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**longblue72** · 03-26-2020, 06:22 PM

If this post doesn't belong please move to the right location.

I just drove from Maryland to South Carolina with the intention of buying a nice shortbed project that ended up being the P.O's work of art- or what have you. Needless to say, the "what i have in it" price wasn't gonna change to the "actual worth" price. Kind of blown but, that's part of it i guess.

I took a couple days off to visit family while down in lovely east Tennessee, and also give the truck a once over before driving up to MD but since i haven't struck a deal yet, I figured I would reach out and see if anyone has seen any listed?

My intentions are not to flip, I built a long bed a few years ago in highschool and traded it (idiot) and have always wanted a shortbed. The bug has been biting me bad lately. Any help or leads are awesome!

Many thanks in advance,
Chuckie

Like GOM says, get ahold of Dean Johnson, in Kodak TN. He has many trucks from Rollers to complete running trucks. It’s been a couple years since I’ve been to his place, but I know he’s a good man to do business with. You just have to ask him what he has, and he’ll tell you everything about them.
Oh, and he doesn’t have have any “Rust Buckets” or “Bondo Buggies”.
Good quality complete trucks and factory sheet metal is what he deals in.

There's a few gems left around here, but pickings are getting slim.
