So if anyone knos where I can find one thatd be just great. Anyone kno how much it would cost?....With my truck slowly turning into my Track Truck...i want it to be light weight. Looks i could cre less about and price neither..i save money well lol. Anyone kno a price range maybe?
Its be great if yall could help me out on these ?'s  Thx yall!!Tyler

Never seen a fiberglass bed for a 73-87. Don't think that anyone produces them.

Why would you want to put less weight on the back wheels? That would also change the front/back weight ratio too.

Or go with all fiberglass and a all aluminum engine!!
Just kidding! I second the steel rear as these trucks have a nasty weight split now. |

problem with fiberglass body pannels doors and stuff like that is if you get hit you are screwed. just another thing to think about.
This site has lots of fiberglass parts and stuff, also i think they have a heavy duty section, not sure if those are stronger or what http://www.usbody.com/ Ben
