Has anyone had experience with this bed kit?

Evidently not.....

Looks like a good deal if the quality is there. If you decide to go that route post a follow up on it.

I would be sure and check on lead time on it, or where that company is located. You could be waiting quite a while if it ships from overseas.

https://restorationpartssource.com/ call them and ask who makes the parts , Not bad price if you have what's missing but once you add Bed floor . fenders , cross sills , shipping , etc the price could double .

No experience with this kit but does seem a bit high. IE: No new hardware, wheel wells, etc. If it includes shipping it's a good price.

I paid $2500 , from SOKY, for a complete 6' fleetside steel bed kit. The kit had all new hardware also.

You are welcome.
If you do a search you should be able to find my thread on the kit I bought. I put the material gauges and such in it as I assembled it. Sorry still haven't figured out how to copy a link and post it.

To copy and paste a link: When you are looking at your thread click in the area at the top where the http//: is with your RIGHT mouse button. when the box pops up click on "Copy" with your LEFT mouse button. Then go to the thread you want to post the link into and start your new post. Click in the message box with your RIGHT mouse button and when the box pops up click on "Paste". Hit enter a couple of times to make sure the link is on a line by itself. and finish the post as you normally would. You can paste it anywhere in your post by clicking the mouse button where you want it. Just make sure the link is on a line by itself.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.
