I'm doing the wood myself. I bought my wood at Lowe's because I am doing this as a budget build and most kits I saw were anywhere from $500 to $800+. That's just way too much for my blood. So I bought 9 1x10x10 for only $153.00 and I got my strips & bolt kit from Classic Chevy parts.com aka: www.classicparts.com for $156.00. I bought the zinc ones cause I'm going to paint the metal strips with that same Rust-Oleum® truck bed coating lining. And since your going to be doing a short bed it will be a lot cheaper for you. There are dimensions on the site here for the bed wood plans.

I installed a universal windshield washer pump where the TSC (transmission spark contol) relays used to be. Not the prettiest job, but it works now!

It depends on how much $ you have to spend .

Rock Auto.com has *very* good rebuilds in the *exact* original part number , most over the countercarbys mix and match parts willy nilly , I don't like that .

I have also found that E-Bay will yield you a N.O.S. , rebuilt or cheap used one if your patient .

Cheap like $15 delivered to your door , you'll have to clean it up etc. but if you're after the correct ' Just So ' one like your clean truck deserves , that's the way to go .

trying to finish up my 3/4 to 1/2 ton conversion. I added a hydro-boost system and put a prop valve on from a 93 truck to wrap up the disc conversion.

What brand DynoBoost did you install?
