Re: Longbed vs Fleetside
here is what I need to fix. Not the best pics but you get the idea.
  I am thinking of doing the entire side, fender, door skin, and bedside. It is really only hurt up to the wheelwell. After that, no damage. And there is a big price difference between buying the little piece at the bottom of the bedside and the entire bedside.

Re: Longbed vs Fleetside
Well that is not the best place to start but I agree that a local needing a little fixing is probably a cheaper solution.
Also inside the bed is the factory optional spare tire carrier. If in the future you decide to sell that please let me know.

Re: Longbed vs Fleetside
The items listed for "Fleetside" will fit either long or short fleetside beds. They are just the center section of the bed that has the wheelwell. You would just cut out that portion wether you were working on a shortbed or a longbed. The parts that are listed as "Longbed" will only fit a longbed. This means that the "lower front panel" that I assume is what youre looking at, will have the factory lip on the front and in the wheelwell. Thus making it a direct fit for a longbed. There are no parts that say for "longbed or fleetside" in the catalogs I have. I hope this clears it up a bit.

Re: Longbed vs Fleetside
Yeah, that's pretty bad... you're in texas... don't you guys have clean longbeds cluttering up the junkyards down there?
In all seriousness... given your location, I'd look for a new bedside, or a whole new bed. Without a tailgate, I've seen some nice longbeds go for $2-400.

Re: Longbed vs Fleetside
I wish, I have been to probably 10 different yards on the north side of Houston and have seen 1, and it was a stepper.
If any other Texans know of one sitting around in a yard, I don't mind driving. Have trailer will travel.
