Help with New Bed for 1968 C10


I need to purchase a complete bed for a fleetside 1968 C10. Has anyone had a good experience with a provider of these parts? Does someone make a better/higher quality bed than others? I need the complete bed; tailgate, bed sides, front panel. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Mike, We bought a complete bed for the 70 short fleet from Nsane Hotrods.
Good price, product and service. I believe they are a vendor on here too.

Southern Kentucky Classics seems to get good comments on here

I got my complete bed assembly from Southern Kentucky Classics as well. They also distribute thru Truck Haven in Shelbyville, TN. Think the parts were marked as "Goodmark" parts. Truck sides were extremely straight, and thickness was about the same or better than original. Everything went together and lined up pretty well. Will post a pix or two.

Only issue was that the tailgate didn't fit perfect on one side. It had to be worked a little bit, but I'm picky and believe it would have pleased most as-was.

I am very satisfied with nearly all my aftermarket metal (and I have a bunch...).

Have you tried the distributors for AMD in Fl ? It may save you a bunch on shipping ?

http://www.autometaldirect.com/dealer_locator.php

A few years back I bought bedsides from Carid.com when they arrived they were in a large AMD box inside that box the bedsides where in a Woodall box , Last year I bought a set from Rock auto .They showed up in an AMD box They are all exactly the same bedsides .
