Original work bed?
HI guys I have an interesting question about a 71 gmc that i just bought it has worktruck boxes that are mounted on the sides of the step side bed and was wondering if they could be original work truck boxes. The boxes are perfectally mounted with the original fender bolt holes. I will get a pic tomarrow.

Re: Original work bed?
I had the same thing on mine and they were installed by a dealer while the truck was brand new (it also got overloads and a hitch installed). All my pics are on my home computer or I'd post one.

Re: Original work bed?
ok thanks I knew they looked to well done to be just a homedone work truck. Are they worth anything you think? mine are very solid except a couple inch hole in the bottom of the box above the tire.

Re: Original work bed?
It sounds like you have the boxes that replace the fenders on a Stepside.They were a common upfit back when Stepsides were available.Is yours an eight or six footer?I could use some 8`boxes.

Re: Original work bed?
Just because I think it's cool, here's some more pix.
This was an ebay truck from a year or so ago. GMC 4x4, & a super-CLEAN original. Don't remember what it sold for. Looks like this truck was NEVER worked out of I'd say, regardless of the vise being there, because those rear sidemarker lights would probably have been long-gone, having been mounted out there in the open, and subject to getting "crunched-off." My '76 Silverado 4x4 utility-bed got the livin' crap beat out of it while we were working out of it every day, but it was a full-bed Koenig-brand utility body. These utility bedside boxes were a dealer add-on that probably all dealers had access to. Sure like to find some of those take-off original stepside rear fenders laying around in a dealer's dusty old rafters............... |
