I am truly interesed now...............got any more pictures of cutting and welding the sides or did you just buy new ones???????

Pretty sure he said he didn't weld it back because the last couple inches were destroyed. He said he would have welded it back on if not for that.

Pretty sure that Rckcrln cut his bed floor similar to this and welded it all back up. Sounds like a job, but if I could weld that's what I would do vs. paying $800 for a repop bed floor.

The guy selling these has a lot of parts for 48 up chevy trucks. I have baught a lot of stuff from him and he is very fair priced. He will have more of those beds, and they look very nice. I have used the aftermarket hoods he sells and they fit very nice. So if the hoods are that nice I can only imagine the box will look sweet behind the a cab and line up nice.

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?

Is there a link or post to Rckcrin to read about this?

71stub · 07-30-2008, 09:14 PM

He has them on Ebay too. Has anybody tried one out yet? Seems like a good deal.

still looking for a link to the mentioned article.

Anyone?

The guy in Norwalk, IA is a pretty good guy. I bought a used bed for a 90's chevy, and he was real easy to work with.

It's Rckcrln's build thread on Low Buck. Do a search for Low Buck and you'll find it.

Yep. Just South of Des Moines / West Des Moines.
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.
