Aaron Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 For some reason I am missing both of these covers on each side of my box. Does anyone have a pair of these they would be willing to part with? Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 From what I've seen, the 1/2 ton high side boxes have those covers for working on the spring shackles. The 3/4 and 1 ton boxes are wider and as such have more clearance room between the bed side and the shackle. Because of that there is no removable plate there on those beds. And the low side box from the earlier trucks, and also used on Pilot-House trucks have a cut out for the shackle, but have no cover at all.

Dave72dt Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I have a high - sided box on a 1/2 ton with no cut outs, only a bump out in the side panel sheet metal on the rear only. I'm sure it's the original box to the truck which I thought was a '52 but was titled as a '51. ID # is T30647191. Maybe someone can tell me what year it really is.

48Dodger Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 All three of my high-side boxes do not have those covers. So this might be a Fargo thing? 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 this got me curious, so I checked the '48 short bed, the '49 extra long bed & the '51 short bed out front: none had this cover. The short beds have the stamping so they don't need a cover, and the 1 ton is so wide that it doesn't need extra access. Makes me wonder if this is a California vs. Michigan thing...
