rr68beep Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 My father changed out stock bed box put a flat bed i was wondering how hard it is to find stock bed with fenders and tail gate if you know of any new or used please get ahold of me thanks Quote
Young Ed Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 They are around. The lowside pilot house beds are rumored to be the same sheet metal. Fenders are a little harder but can be had in fiberglass Quote
kendall Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 I have found this site but not purchased from it yet.horkeyswoodandparts.com. Look under ' Dodge Plymouth Box Parts' Quote
59bisquik Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 I got a lot of my missing/damaged bed parts from Horkeys. Nice folks and good customer service. Quote
Young Ed Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Did you also post this to the yahoo group? If not someone else is asking a similar question. Anyway buying the entire thing from Horkey will be expensive but gets you new parts. I think you'll be stuck with fiberglass fenders that way. Otherwise watch this group and that one along with ebay and craigslist. You'll find stuff if you're patient. I've got 4 fenders and 4 bedsides stashed for future projects. I have the bed fronts too but they might end up replaced with reproductions as they are rusted out along the bottom. Quote

Midwest Military is the only supplier of correct bed strips I've found. BOTH are Minnesota companies and I've met BOTH owners and BOTH are great people. Quote

The job rated series has wooden cross members while the pilot house has steel. So are the strips the same even between the 2? My 46 is built using generic strips with a carriage bolt at every spot. Longer ones through the cross members and shorter ones where it is just the floor. However it should have round holes for wood screws on top of the cross members and then the bolts for the gaps.
