Repro SWB bedsides 68-72 and repro doors

[randy500]

I'm sharing information...

Late this summer I bought a complete SWB bed kit from GMCPauls.
I got it about a week after I ordered it. I got a steel floor, bedsides, wheel housings, front bed panel, tailgate with all installation parts, rear splash shields. Just about everything except the rods that support the front of the bedsides. I'm very happy with the parts quality. To make it really straight the sides will probably need to be skim coated and blocked but the parts are nice and are very close to original in the way they are stamped and welded together.
All the boxes were marked Woodall Industries if I remember correctly.

Last week I ordered Goodmark bedsides from Summit Racing.
Today they came in and the first thing I noticed is the stenciling on the box was the same font and placement as the Woodall bed. The bedsides themselves seem to be identical and the packaging was identical too.

BTW, summit matched the lowest price I could find and I got it shipped for free too. UPS truck freight, ordered last Friday and received today.

Our member Woodnears responded to my question about the newer repro doors. I asked if they have the "triangle" raised stamping in the front corner, he provided me pictures verifying that the new repros do have that feature. I think he said he got them from Southern Kentucky Classics. He provided me pictures of the doors and confirmed the front edge of the door still does not roll into the fender as the originals did. He did not have the part number or manufacturer information on his doors.

I bought a repro 72 door from Wes at Classic Heartbeat in August and it did not have the raised tringle feature in the front corner. Pictures of Woodnears door seem to be the same door that I got except for the "triange". His door and my door required re-fitting and shaping the window hoop and some elongation of the hinge holes to fit properly. Pretty easy to fit with general tools and skills. He had to remove the front spot welds and reposition the hoop, I just massaged mine with a hammer and a block of wood. I think my door was key parts amongst a lot of other markings. I will try to find the box and update this thread with that info.

Hope this helps someone.
