48Dodger Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I imagine I could look this question up, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Why is it the low side truck beds are flat panels (no beads, flares, or impressions)? 48D Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 The low sided beds were actually hold overs from the 39-47 beds Tim. Hey Tim....should I stop holding my breath about an offer for the fear fenders ? Quote
greg g Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 The taller ones probably need the rolled in ribs to give them strength. Quote
buds truck Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Reg, are there 2 different lengths to the tall sided beds?? yours looks like the length I am about to cut mine down to. Wanna trade??? LOL Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Bud, There are 3 different sized boxes. in most cases the 1/2 tons were short, the 3/4 tons were medium, and the 1 tons were real long. I did see a 3/4 ton once with the medium low sided box. Sure . I'll trade if you do the work. Quote
Guest Kuster13 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Bud, is your bed for a 116" wheel base? I just can't seem to find a long box close enough. I see lots for 108" Tom Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Kuster, I have a long box 116" I could take apart and ship. I'm in Northern Calif. Quote
48Dodger Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Reg, I need the rear fenders, so whatever you think is fair is fine with me. I looked at mine again and dont feel that inspired to make'em "nice". I think Jim told me his body guy spent more time on the rear fenders than any other panel. And thx for the bedside info. 48D Quote
Allen I. Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Egad men!!! :eek: I have a B2C that I cannot for the life of me find a bed for nearby. I'll wipe a tear away now for the one Bud is going to cut up. *Sigh* I'll keep plodding along here in NY and try to find one. Quote

Jim Shepard Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 That is one butt-ugly truck! It almost looks like he's towing a trailer. Quote
smallblockjunkie Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 I saw some where that the short side bed was a option for this trucks Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Yes, at the top of this thread are photos of two. Quote
Jim Shepard Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Where's the butt ugly truck Jim ? The first one, Reg... Quote
