They also have o.e. style for the same pricing

I bought the OE style with stake pockets , I'm a big fan of original metal but take a look at this , I won't be chasing rusty beds when parts like these are available . To get the deal you have to order thru CARiD .

I ordered thru CARiD to buy tri plus bedsides that were delivered by Averitt trucking only to open the box and find Woodall stamped on the inside box ,? This just peaks my assumption that there is one manufacturer placing different names on the same product AUto metal direct ,Tri plus, Woodall, Goodmark . ?

Shipping was only $99.00 way out where I live in the country . They are worth the wait and I'll be ordering another complete 67 short bed tomorrow .!

Left and Right 67 short bed OE style , shipped , total $804.00 thru CARiD . Can't beat that with a stick !

They look good in the pictures. How is the metal thickness compared to gm? Can't wait to get mine!! It'll be awhile until they're painted. Is it not to run as is or should I epoxy prime them?

I don't have a micrometer but I try to get a gauge tomorrow . I'm guessing 20_22 once I check panel to panel alignment and fit I'll break them back down and epoxy prime and block them out before paint .

Sweet! Thanks for the pics and reviews guys.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-11-2016, 11:15 AM

I just tried to order another set of bedsides ,drivers is available passengers are backordered at least 30 days per AMD .

67ChevyRedneck · 07-11-2016, 11:30 AM

So factoring the back order time... expect a 3 month wait?

It was almost 2 months before you got the ones you already ordered!

For the price though, that's still worth the wait.
