I am in total agreement, but a short apache bed is $$$$ anyway. if you want a fleet you are going to spend some money.

**mongocanfly** · 07-18-2017, 11:32 AM

^^^^yep^^^^...and rust free straight panels are worth their weight in $$$$

I agree, considering the cost of a decent 60 year old box (if you can find one) and the time and expense of prepping it for paint, the price of a new box may not be too unreasonable.

I'm NOT considering making a change on my truck so close to it being finished, but my bed is in primer and ALMOST about to be sprayed in color so I'm curious. Anyone know the price? I assume a short fleet would be a straight bolt-on to a '55,'56, '57 frame?

it should bolt onto any '55-'59 short bed

**mongocanfly** · 07-18-2017, 12:13 PM

I was looking for a price but all I could find was "coming soon"

Lets start a pool. I am in at $3200 w/o shipping.

b-mac · 07-18-2017, 03:17 PM

Since they seem to be the only one making it, I'll say $4400.

**Patrat** · 07-19-2017, 11:36 AM

I sold them the old tail light housings from my 59 Fleetside a couple months ago. They needed some good ones to clone.

They are a legit outfit and my guess is that the side panels will be less that $1000 each.

**mongocanfly** · 07-19-2017, 12:13 PM

^^^^really^^^^under a grand...I guessed much higher...but for the complete bed....I hope they use close to stock thickness metal..would suck if its so thin you couldn't touch it without warping..

**KP Jon** · 07-19-2017, 01:20 PM

To clarify things: The bedsides are completed and what I was posting for; not complete beds. We assembled the bed to make sure that everything fit 100% (Including installing the wood bed floor). As far as the quality I think folks will be very happy.

**mongocanfly** · 07-19-2017, 01:50 PM

Thanks for clearing that up...I was assuming from the pic it was a complete bed...can I also assume your involved with this production?

KP Jon = Key Parts Jon

I have used their parts and the quality is good.

Nobody happier than me to see these are going to be available, I am planning my next truck and was thinking I would have to go stepside. Nothing wrong with stepside trucks, just my preference.

**mongocanfly** · 07-19-2017, 04:03 PM

^^^^Well that makes sense^^^^..those style bedsides are one of the best fleets chevy ever did...almost makes me want to buy one just to hang on my shop wall....almost

OrrieG · 07-19-2017, 04:53 PM

Mar-K already makes the front panel, rear cross sill, tailgate, bed kits and hardware, all that was missing was the Fleetside bed sides.

62lwbc10 · 07-19-2017, 05:42 PM

Very cool, love 58-58 fleetsides esp with the deluxe trim but I'll stick with the stepside. To me, nothing tougher looking than a short step with a big back window, but to each his own!!

Cheaper than I thought they would be. I wonder if a longbed is comin?

Mac the Yankee · 10-11-2017, 10:47 PM

Now, if they would pop out some Suburban/Panel sheetmetal!

**hogfarm** · 10-14-2017, 07:04 AM

I have a fleetside bed on my 58,are there going to be any patch panels?

Probably not as these weren't tooled to make patch panels. Right now it would require stamping a complete side and cutting it up.
