Reproduction Short Fleet bed
I thought I remember seeing one time they you could buy a complete reproduction short/fleet bed? Or maybe in pieces. Do any of you know of a vendor that has this?

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
Can be bought in pieces, if you want, I have a new set of short fleet bedsides from goodmark new in the boxes. PM me, then all you'll need is the front panel, tailgate and floor.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
Check with any number of the board vendors such as;
They don't sell a complete assembly- you'll need to buy the bedsides, front header panel, tailgate, wheel tubs, cross sills, bed wood & strips and the plethora of fasteners. Don't be too shocked if you have $2000-$2500 dollars into this before paint.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
You can buy a complete swb bed kit. They're available from Southern Kentucky Classics. However, I'm not sure if they are a board vendor or not.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
We sell complete beds also. they range in price from $2300 to $2800 depending on options. That is with an unfinished wood floor. If TW parts the price is less We are dealers for MAR-K and using there parts it will run a little higher but better quality. Thats everything to bolt it to the frame. That assembled w/o wood ready to mount

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
Any of the BB vendors should be able to hook you up.Try the one nearest you and see if you can pick up the parts at a show or their store/whatever.I suggest this because that $2000.00-2500.00 may be $3000.00-4000.00 after shipping.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
Front panel will be the same if.... your working with a wood floor and staying with wood. If you swap one way or the other you will need to swap the front panel. The tailgate is the same regardless.
If you have the ability, cut down the long bed sides and weld them back. You can find rust free LWB's all day long, it's the rust free SWB's that will kill your bank account.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
Wow Leon, that seems like a good deal if it is of decent quality, steel floor & all.
I clicked "print screen" in case they end the listing

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
I am still trying to find that link to the article with lots of pictures of the bed shortening and the frame shortening and it was on this thread i thought for sure. The cab was left on the truck also I do believe.
Anyone remember this article?

The Bed is nice. was looking at it yesterday when I picked up my wheels. also got a battery tray from him. He said he should have the complete new LWB beds in stock in a couple of months I think.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
some one mentioned the idea of cutting down a lwb floor and bolting up repop bedsides. It will work, because that is exactly what i did. 12" off of the front of the bed and 8" off of the back. the holes in the bed floor and inside of bedsides even line up perfectly. The only issue I have is trying to round off the back of my bed floor for a smoother look. If it wasn't destroyed I would have cut the last couple inches off of the floor itself and welded it back on once the floor was cut. I'll see if I can find some pics. of when i did it.

Re: Reproduction Short Fleet bed
I bought all the needed parts to build a short wood bed from GMC Pauls. I had a original tailgate but bought all the rest from them.
