Wood Bed Patterns?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone out there have dimensions or patterns for the '73-'87 long bed, fleet side wood planks?

I've looked at the info at GMCPaul's site, but it only covers up to '72 models.

Thanks!

These people sell the parts, I think. It isn't quite what you are looking for, but it is better than nothing, right?

EDIT: I haven't seen an X 1/9 in years. My Dad had a couple of Fiat 124 Sport Coupes and a Lancia Beta HPE when I was growing up. Great cars...

The only problems my Dad ever had with his were with rust. They were all fast and reliable. The 124 sport coupe had disk brakes, a 5 speed, and a dual overhead cam engine in the early 1970s when such things were unheard of in American cars.

RE: Fiats.

Actually, Fiats are pretty good little cars. They do need more tlc than modern cars, but the performance for the buck can't be beat!

I love it when at local AutoX's, I see the looks on the faces of Honda/Acura/Nissan/Subaru/etc.. guys when my basically stock little 27 year old X1/9 with a total of ~$1200 invested beats or equals the performance of their $20-40K car!

The best part is that you can get them for pennies! My X and my wife's X were $350 and $50 respectively when I bought them.

Also, a friend of mine drives a 'D' Prepared 1974 X1/9 and routinely takes TTOD over Z06 Vettes and other more modern cars.
