I hadn't noticed Chevrolet built any trucks after the perfect style of the '67 !

It just drives me crazy (crazier ?) When you order and pay for parts they show in stock and then are back ordered for weeks , New estimated shipping date 6/27

Mieser3 · 06-15-2016, 04:01 PM

Received an email today and it said mine are on backorder until 7/20/2016.

**Grumpy old man** · 06-15-2016, 06:35 PM

I've called 3 times and so far mine are still good for 6/27 ...

**seafoam68** · 06-25-2016, 06:15 PM

Just pm'd Grumpy about these. Im very interested but hope someone can let us know about the quality/shipping of these.

**Grumpy old man** · 06-25-2016, 06:18 PM

Mine are supposed to be shipped on Tuesday , shipping was $99.00 when I paid for them .

oldblue1968chevy · 06-25-2016, 11:58 PM

Still waiting for mine as well.

oldblue1968chevy · 06-26-2016, 10:01 PM

July 20th est ship date...

**Grumpy old man** · 06-26-2016, 10:26 PM

I just checked my email and no changes so far , I have a Google trusted stores account and used it on this purchase , Google gets involved if you have any problems maybe that's why mine are still on a somewhat delivery date ? I'll be calling in the morning

**Grumpy old man** · 06-27-2016, 09:24 AM

Well.... I just called and checked mine are being shipped today . Woo hoo !

Hopefully everything gets here in time to make Whitehouse .

**Grumpy old man** · 06-27-2016, 02:34 PM

They are Tri Plus bedsides what would be different from the same ones sold elsewhere for more $$. Ill wait on shipping to save a few hundred a side .

**seafoam68** · 06-27-2016, 08:34 PM

Well? Lol.

**Grumpy old man** · 06-28-2016, 08:08 AM

I know it's like waiting for paint to dry waiting on a phone call for what day and approximate time they'll arrive .........

**seafoam68** · 07-01-2016, 07:18 PM

Any word on fenders? I'm afraid they might be just the outer shell for that price? Id sure like to pull the trigger if they are the whole bedsides.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-01-2016, 10:45 PM

Haha , it's the whole bedside they don't produce just the complete outside of the bed , I'm going to pick mine up Tuesday from the shipper averitt in Knoxville , rather than wait for them to deliver way out here in God's country . I don't think any vendor has them in stock , I'm pretty sure they are dropped shipped when ordered at a considerable price increase .Do you really want to pay a couple hundred more for Joe Balogny's truck parts to place the order for you ? Personally I'd rather they come directly from AMD than being shipped to a vendor then shipped again to me ,less hands less chance of damage .

**seafoam68** · 07-02-2016, 03:34 PM

That makes sense. The vendor would add on cost. I guess I was just leary because I have been looking for awhile and they have all been around 500 per side.

Mieser3 · 07-06-2016, 01:07 PM

Did you get yours picked up yesterday Grumpy?

**Grumpy old man** · 07-06-2016, 03:34 PM

I tried , I didn't set it up that way with CARiD or AMD and Averitt customer service wouldn't allow shipping dock pick up ,So I have to wait until Thursday afternoon for them to show up in my driveway . Anybody notice that Goodmark and AMD are located just N of Atlanta in Buford/ Lawrenceville ? Are they one in the same with different stickers ?

ecna · 07-06-2016, 10:38 PM

What's the difference between the "OE style" and "w/o marker lamps, w/o stake pockets"? I assume just the stake pockets?

The 67 didn't come with side marker lamps ( 68-72 did) and many guys are welding up the stake pocket holes for a cleaner look so now you can order a replacement bed without them .

I get that some people like these trucks all smoothed up, but I really like stake pockets. To me that's just one part of the cool of an old truck.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-07-2016, 11:57 AM

I just got the email update they're finally out for delivery , seems like I've waited a month , Opps I have waited a month ! If anything is missing or damaged I'm gonna lose my mind ! 😁
