Anybody know where I can find INNER repair panels for a 72 longbed fleetside or complete bedsides for a longbed ?

Thanks!

I don't think anyone is producing any at this time.

If you are really desperate, Scott's Super trucks is getting them soon. Sometime towards the middle of summer I am guessing. They are located in northern Alberta. Always a possbility!?

Look at a current thread about junkyard finds. He found some long beds he could probably cut up for you if you are close.

Guys at Early Classics told me the same thing. Also spent hours looking on the Internet too with no luck, but I figured you guys would know for sure.

adk - if you find anything - PM me please. I'm looking for just the 90 degree parts at the bottom (inner skin) that bolts to the bed floor.... I quess I could make some but if someone cuts something up..... might be easier to tack 'em on... I spent 35 years in and around Syracuse - hated the salt - Moved to NC, bought my truck - it had rust.... go figure... hahahaha

Both.

I know they have the bedsides, but I was talking about the inners.

How about inner repair panels for a shortbed? Anybody seen them anywhere?

If I could find them, I could piece together enough parts to fix the longbed. The wheel opening is the tough part.

I had a fabricating shop make panels I welded in. I had the flange bent with the square holes punched. The only problem I ran in to was the wheel tubs were moved in 1/2" tward the center of the bed.
