looking for a short bed 69-72chevypkup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Leo's1971 · 04-17-2006, 09:47 AM

I currently have a short bed 1971 chevy pickup, but the one that I have is the low wheel base bed. NEVER SOLD IN THE US.
NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CHANGE IT.

First welcome to the board!! Whats a low wheel base bed ? Where in TX are you?

mocwon · 04-17-2006, 10:19 AM

Welcome form Central TX. Also, curious about the low wheel base bed??? If not sold in the US, where were they sold?

Bishops Trucks · 04-17-2006, 11:14 AM

Could you take some pics. so we can understand what you are talking about.
It would be cheaper to buy a new bed from Goodmark than buy another truck. Just my opinion.

**Canadian694x4** · 04-17-2006, 02:57 PM

Yes Welcome and hopefully you can get up some pics to help identify what your talkin about

Longhorn Man · 04-17-2006, 04:13 PM

I'll agree with the others, welcome, and pics please.

Are you talking about a mexico version?
If so, how do you plan on getting it titled?

wibilly · 04-18-2006, 12:35 AM

i guess the wheel base is shorter than a short bed

Longhorn Man · 04-18-2006, 02:34 PM

That's just a blazer.

67ChevyRedneck · 04-18-2006, 04:06 PM

I think I've seen two toyota trucks (like an 80 or 81) that had something like this? I could be totally wrong, buy my guess is that about a foot or so from the back of the cab the bedside was literally cut off to almost the floor of the bed and a new cap was welded on to close the inner and outer bedsides giving you a "fleetside flatbed" truck with a really short bed wall.

chevy_fatman · 04-18-2006, 07:15 PM

pick me, pick me!.......

got a pic somewhere here.

chevy_fatman · 04-18-2006, 07:21 PM

Here it is!

This is a Mexico production only, Centro and South America had yet another different design

, I would love to get my hands on one of those beds! I would trade you if you were closer, but TX is a long way from PA.

Bishops Trucks · 04-18-2006, 07:39 PM

Hey Leo,
You have something nobody see's alot of. Why do you want to change it? The PM you sent me earlier about my 1970 thats for sale, it is a long bed. That bed is one hell of a conversation piece.

mblackburnjr · 04-18-2006, 07:52 PM

There was a post on here when i first joined about a truck like that in a magazine. Maybe a search might turn up some info......pretty unique!

Longhorn Man · 04-18-2006, 08:01 PM

we are satill assuming that is what he's talking ab out though.
Paul.... do you have that page, or is that a pic you've pirated?

chevy_fatman · 04-18-2006, 08:19 PM

Andy, is just that pic I have
