Brand new short steel floors available... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but the new shortbed steel floors are finally available for purchase. I just got the new Brother's catalog last night and they're listed in there for $599 with a minimum $125 freight charge. Just thought I'd pass along the info.

interesting, i just picked up a diamond in the rough on the cheap, but that would save a ton of labor.

Very nice will be stopping by there on wed to pick up some bolts will look into it.

I called JC over at Brother's trucks and he told me that the floors are still 2 to 3 weaks out. Way cool though!! We have been needing these for a long time. WES

1LoC10 · 07-31-2007, 12:42 PM

**DREW67** · 07-31-2007, 12:51 PM

Do You Know If They Have The Cross Members?

Mt Man Chad · 07-31-2007, 12:59 PM

For that price one would hope So!

RedZ71 · 07-31-2007, 01:49 PM

shocking to me, that this item is just now comming available (with as many other repro parts as there are), with as bad as the rust can be in the bed floor.

72 68 andmore · 07-31-2007, 01:55 PM

Where is Brothers Truck located for that matter were is Classic Heartbeat located?

powell72 · 07-31-2007, 05:28 PM

DREW67, from the pic in the catalog it looks like just the floor, no sills. I'm just going off the picture though. They have the sills listed for $39.99 and $99.99 for the rear one.

**rob32472** · 08-08-2007, 06:32 AM

any updates on this thread?

**special-K** · 08-08-2007, 07:09 AM

It`s a great day in history!I expected them to be a bit spendy.Most large pieces of steel are these days.F-100 cabs are reproduced.Wouldn`t it be neat to be able to buy a new cab for our trucks?Well,expect to pay around $6,000.That`s what the Effy cabs cost.Figure what putting together a woodfloor from scratch would run ya.The steel`s not that bad.
And,I just picted up a pair of suweeeet rustfree CA short Fleetsides last weekend.Before too long,if you guys are going to a swapmeet you better leave room to haul a bedfloor.A smart vendor will haul these to shows if he can.Save on that shipping.

**rob32472** · 08-08-2007, 07:11 AM

amen brother

JPPA1972 · 08-08-2007, 09:21 PM

how come no one has long bed parts?

**rob32472** · 08-08-2007, 09:31 PM

i believe the lwb side are being tooled and as for the floor you can buy the halves already

Ackattack · 08-08-2007, 09:40 PM

So how much would an entire new shortbed run you? ~$2500 i'm guessing
