i've been looking at sheet metal for my 72 short fleet bed. all i can find for the lower right side is for a long bed only. do you cut it?

[planewhisperer]

I wouldnt cut it myself, but have you checked LMC............

[50mercfan]

yes, theirs says long bed also.

[usmcchevy]

Yep, yr suppose to buy the long and cut it down for a short bed. I need to do this too.

[50mercfan]

thanks, i thought that was the case at first, but, then one of the vendors has them listed as long bed only.

LMC summer cat 2010 page 25 part item 7, isn't that what you are talking about?

[ebry710]

It seem to me a wrecker would be easier to get the part.

If you are a metal guy, cutting out the center and rewelding it would be simple.

Cutting off the front and pounding the curve to create a front lip, is a skill.

Hey, what is the difference between the Jimmy panel (page 35 part 27) and the panel you are missing?

[50mercfan]

i need the edges also, not just the center, i do have the skill to make the pieces but thats alot of work for no more than the cost. i don't know about the blazer panels. i was hoping someone had been through this and have the answers. mine has been rolled under in front of the tire pounded back out and bondo'ed. it's not rusty but it's a real mess.

page 25 #7 and #9 are what i'm looking at.
