Whole new box kit for 86 truck?

Can you buy a whole box kit for 73 87 trucks like you can for 67 72 trucks? Mine is a long box.

They do make all the parts to build them now, but not sure about availability.. And haven't seen anyone advertising a complete kit either.

Not sure of a whole kit, but there was a thread here awhile back about the bedsides not being available while they built new dies and stamps..

Re: Whole new box kit for 86 truck?

I did a whole new bed ( floor, bedsides, front panel, wheel houses, hardware ) from LMC. Everything bolted together nice with minimal fitting involved. The bedsides did require some body work, most of which was corrected with primer. In my opinion the aftermarket body panels available for 67-72 trucks and 73-87 trucks are decent quality and even though some fitting and body work is required they aren't far off from original equipment.
