fleetside bedside panels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know where to find complete bedside panels for a 62 SWB? I've searched here and looked at the usual places and find only patch panels. I'd like to find the complete panel if possible.

www.usbody.com sells them in fiberglass. That's all that I know of. You should be able to find them near you also.

Do those come clear up to the seam? I'm not near my truck right now so can't measure how far up 22 inches comes on the bedside.

Also, do they each reach to the center of the wheel opening? Basically I'm asking if you weld the two pieces together, do you have a complete new bedside?

No reproductions yet that I know of, I had to do a 1500mile round trip to find a decent SWB fleet bed. I have since located at least three SWB fleet beds that they have turned into trailers around me not sure if they would like to sell?

Best of luck

Might as well cut down a LWB to SWB. Unless you can't find a decent one, but they are usually pretty easy to find around here.
