first up this isnt a want to buy thread. i dont need to get parts yet. i am just curious. to see if there are vendors out there that have what i want when the time comes.
looking at a few web stores, and contemplating starting on the bed a little later on . i noticed that you could find whole bedsides for roughly 450 - 600 dollars a piece. and i got to thinking about it. my bed sides are really good on the inner panels. i just have rusty outter skins. yeah it would be nice i guess to have totaly new bedsides, but i really dont need all that. i just need new outter skins.
back in 98 i had a new silverado, i struck a dear on the way to work about a month after i got it. they put a new outter bedside and a new door skin on, replaced the fender bumper and grill. i clearly remember seeing the spot welds where they were attaching the bed side. but i dont remember seeing them for sale myself. does anyone know of such a thing?
