Re: Cab and Chassis with Fleetside bed
Yes unfortunately each bedside has numerous holes all along the bed. I will take more pictures tomorrow of the bedsides. It actually doesn't look too bad considering the lower quarter of the bed on each side is rotted gone completely for a few inches so the axle almost centers itself due to the rotted bed !
That's not a bad idea though- extending the bed itself by grafting on an extra portion of it.
I do have a rust free 8 ft bed I was considering throwing on it since the rest of the truck is so clean for a Connecticut truck. But I'm weary of how bad the gap would look since I would only want to put it on if I was centering it with the axle...and with centering would leave the 4 inch gap.
The po welded part of the bed to the frame sadly. I may just cut the brackets off and slide it back myself to see for sure in person.
