71chevylongbed · 02-12-2006, 03:22 AM

im in meridian. you local guys know of any good places to find parts? i've been to almost all the junk yards around here and it is getting to be pretty slim pickings on any decent parts. i'm planning on making my longbed into a short bed this summer/fall and i'd like to find an original short box in good condition for it

72armyswbtruck · 02-12-2006, 05:01 AM

Hey there 71chevylongbed, I have a bed and frame all ready for you, listed on ebay now, I won't put the link, I haven't bought my vendors fee yet, I am going to though after the truck sells, take a look you'll find it in the vintage parts cars. Nice to see so many around the valley.

72armyswbtruck · 02-12-2006, 05:02 AM

I've been to that tractor Junkyard, great stuff, I know of a few guys around the area that have lots of trucks and stuff, pm me and I will try and hook you up with them.

AKChevyman · 02-12-2006, 12:38 PM
