WTB; Fleetside wood bed side angles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rlm316 · 05-21-2008, 09:10 PM

If any one has a 8' wood bed with dented up bedsides, I need the angle strips that are bent from the inner bedside. This is the area that the wood bed bolts to from the tailgate to the front bed panel on each side. I would like to have about 2" above the bend so I can do a clean weld. Partial pieces could be used in a pinch. Let me know what you have and your asking price. Thanks for the help, Lane.

Any help?

you can order them new http://www.lmctruck.com/ICATALOG/CB/full.aspx?Page=31

Also MAR-K. They are quick @ shipping.

rlm316 · 05-24-2008, 04:53 PM

Those are for the stepside. I talked to Mar-K about it and the fleetside patches are not available so I need used parts. They don't need to be pretty, just not too rusty. Any help? I need these to finish my bed.

I think that the bedsides for the steel floor are the same as the wood floor so the flange area should be the same.

I think it would be easier to just get a piece of metal cut and broke. Same gauge of course.

I got a set for my fleetside from Horkies in Minn. Can't remember the cost right now.(cheap) Great folks to deal with. Someone here has their web address. Check them out. (Not at home. On the road, using a laptop.) Oh yea, they're already pre-drilled.

rlm316 · 05-29-2008, 04:50 PM

Thanks, I'll check it out. TTT for anyone else?

sameyrasmea72 · 05-29-2008, 06:14 PM

Are you talking about this area right here?

OhioDan · 05-30-2008, 05:09 AM

That would be the ones. You'll have to measure so the lip will be at the same from the top of the box down to the lip. Cut off the old and weld on the new. Smooth as needed. Saves buying a bedside.

Found their website:

Hope this helps?

wow, I didn't know they made those... good find, im saving this one...

I need that area and the part that the wheel well bolts too...

I have a pair of bedsides (nice shape) off a 68 I will give you if you can find a way to get them to you

68C15 · 06-02-2008, 08:16 AM

if ostenre doesnt work out I just took off by long fleet. the outter skins are toat (custom built in bungee hook holes) but the inners are in real good shape. LMK soon as this next weekend it needs to be gone

rlm316 · 06-02-2008, 10:57 AM

Thanks for all the replies! I would imagine that shipping would be high for the full bedsides. Who would deal with these besides a trucking freight co.? I'm trying to keep the costs down as much as possible on this build ( 2kids, 2 jobs and 1 wife that can spend like 10, haha) Thanks again, Lane
