Re: goodmark repro bed
Nothing like GM stuff. Honestly Id be patient and look for a pristine one, or maybe put one together in pieces.

Re: goodmark repro bed
The reproduction beds are made by one company and sold by many. They are good quality. You will hear of good results from those who have them. The only fitment issues I've heard are bolt holes needing wallowed-out. Panels align as well as OEM

Re: goodmark repro bed
I didn't buy a complete bed, but just a bedside for the passenger side. I was very pleased with the fit.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I have a new floor pan,firewall,rockers,cab corners,f&r lower pillars,new fenders,doors,head board,tailgate,all bed cross sills to convert to a wood bed and new bed sides. They all fit way better then everyone said they would. new sheet metal is great.

Re: goodmark repro bed
Are the reproductions the same gauge material as the NOS?

I was wondering this also, if they are then i,am gonna give them a try too. |
Re: goodmark repro bed
This I can't say for sure. That is the question to research (or maybe get an answer here). But,I do know that. I do know that parts made by Tri-Plus are in fact of the same or heavier gauge. They don't make the bed sides,though,and not sure about the floors.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I just did final assembly after painting on a repop bed. I had test fitted everything before paint.
I am very pleased with the results. As noted above, it will need 4 or 5 holes widened a little for assembly but that is reason for test fitting. Seems to be same gauge metal. I would recomend it again. |
Re: goodmark repro bed
I'm planning on getting a complete bed kit from sokyclassics sometime in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how the fitment goes with that.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I have sold several with great results. A couple holes do not match up on the metal floor to the bedsides. Not a big issue and a non issue if using a wood floor.

Re: goodmark repro bed
When you say complete bed you mean everything? Fender wheels, front piece, bolts, floor, tailgate, etc....
|
Re: goodmark repro bed
Mine was complete, everything. The only thing I reused from my old bed was the center tailgate latch because the repop did not function very well.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I just bought a complete bed from sokyclassics and got it monday and I am very pleased with the quality. There were no dents or damage anywhere but I still have no got the hardware yet but they told me up front they were getting the hardware. I also emailed AMD to no response so I went with sokyclassics. Glad I did

Re: goodmark repro bed
I bought a complete bed for mine last fall, some say there is only one company that make the parts I do not think that is correct! The floor was made by Woodall very nice, and heavy! The tubs were made by dyna corn, the headboard, tailgate, and right bedside were Triplus. the left bedside did not have any manufacture lable but was very different from the Triplus side!
I would give it a 8 out of 10, if the left bedside was a tri plus it would be a 10 |

Re: goodmark repro bed
I picked up my new fleetside bed kit from So. Ky. Classics this morning and got it bolted together this afternoon. Things seem to go together pretty well and lined up as good as could be expected. It seems to be a good quality kit and is gonna look good once it's set into place. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, and would buy the same kit again if in the market for a bed.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I'll post some pictures later tonight when I return home. The cost was $2185 after a 5% online discount. I picked it up from their shop in Bowling Green as it's only 45-60 mins away.

Re: goodmark repro bed
I'm just looking at the thickness of the metal, the fit of one panel to the other, etc. Shiney is good too but for me I just want to make sure its close to factory spec. I have seen and heard horror stories of 1/2 gap between the panels and stuff. As long as they fit fairly close to original spec and won't dent if someone leans on it.. (?). I may go this route.

if anything get the bed floor from them very heavy duty and no gaps in mine i bought a smooth tailgate from LMC and that was the only probelm i had out of sheetmetal |
Re: goodmark repro bed
If they're this good, then I'm going this route too absolutely.. maybe they have stepped up their quality (?). I'm curious to see one. Bowling Green is not far from me at all. I may be taking a road trip soon myself :metal: I just thought they were thin and didn't fit this good.
