WTT: Rust Free SWB Step Side Bed for SWB Fleet Side Bed in PA NJ NY - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mcmlxix · 10-09-2003, 12:07 PM

I bought a 71 C10 from Mississippi. It's a SWB stepside truck. I originally wanted to go with a late model stepside but after seeing a bunch of trucks I want a fleetside.
The bed has no rust through. The original tailgate has a slight bow to it. Everything else is straight and solid. The wood floor is rotted so the PO put a 1/4" steel plate on the floor over it. It will need wood and strips to make original or run it as is.
I am looking for a equally rust free swb fleet side bed (needing wood OK) that is close enough to drive to and swap beds one day on a weekend.... I work in NYC and go home on weekends to Waymart PA ... or if you want to head out this direction, let me know...

I know I live in the rust belt so this is a long shot.

I will post pics of the bed asap....

last is the steel plate as the bed floor. I think this is why the truck sits even with nothing in it ....

You may be lucky, I have a rust free fleetside all wood and metal strips are there, it has a small dent under the passenger taillight from I guess somebody pushing the bumper into the bed.

I can get some pics this weekend.
