Re: 8 Foot Bed sides
Thanks, thought I could repair mine but it may be less of a headache to go with new metal.

Re: 8 Foot Bed sides
look on parts board, you can usually find some nice ones there, i have a pair of super nice ones, but getting them to NY would eat your lunch.

Re: 8 Foot Bed sides
If there are repro longbed sides in the works that would be so cool! This is something I've needed. My bed has the usual rusted out wheel wells(all along the body line in addition to the wheel tubs in the bed), along with some holes in various places on the sides. Problem is, I could buy patch panels to fix the rusted areas, but I just know in a few years the remainder of the bed sides will rust out around the patchwork leaving nothing to keep the patches there.
I seriously doubt there are any used beds for sale around here that are in much better shape than mine, but then, I haven't looked too hard either.

Re: 8 Foot Bed sides
"Brother's" has them advertized in their catalog. Of course it also says "coming soon" and no price is listed
