k5 bedside question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tallhoedude · 07-16-2007, 01:07 PM

i have found some undesirable things under the bondo on the right bedside on my k5.looks like it made contact with a pole at one time and has been cut and patched back together.......very poorly
i really just need the back half of the panel,but top to bottom....and really only want the outside skin,not the whole bedside panel..
my question is....can i just use a truck bedside to patch with?
ive got a shortbed i could cut up....or do i need a blazer side...??
thanks in advance for any guidance...

That area should be the same. The only difference I know of is up front where the bed side attaches to the door jamb.

Thanks,
Do You Guys Sell A Bedside Skin?or Half Panel?

Is The Length From Wheel Opening To Taillamps The Same On Shortbeds And Blazers?

Thanks Again

Wheel opening to tail is the same on both. Unless you get a used bedside to fix it with or a complete bedside, the largest panel I know of is the complete wheel arch which is 30" each way from the center of the wheel arch and 23" high from the bottom. I can get that repair panel.
