I found a 71 GMC short wide bed in Marysville about 3 yrs ago and paid $300 for it.

socal67chevy · 05-15-2005, 04:47 PM

how much did the 6 lug to 5 lug conversion cost you?

86swb · 05-15-2005, 05:30 PM

I can never find bargains like that. If I do, it's a piece of junk. Yours looks solid. Enjoy.
