Re: LMC complete short fleet bedsides

I just saw mine a few minutes ago too. Short fleetsides only but it's a start. It probably won't be too long before the long beds will be out if these catch on and are of good quality.

I've done body work for a living in the past. I have to say that all the steel I purchased from lmc was the best I've worked with.

Re: LMC complete short fleet bedsides

When I had my cab work done at my local body shop I purchased all my repair parts from LMC. I asked them how they fit and about the quality and I was told that it was good stuff. No problems.

You are in luck. Long bed sides are on the way as well. They just arent the popular marketing tool. If memory serves me correctly add $100 for Long bed. But dont hold me too that. I have the paperwork on my desk.

I had a meeting with the actually manufacture today about the bed sides. They were very happy with samples which means the production product should be nice as well. with the ship date I was given, hopefully we see them by the end of the year.

Re: LMC complete short fleet bedsides

Be nice if they made hoods - 1962 to 1966 C10's had the same hoods? That's five year models and they still don't make hoods for them? Something is basically wrong there.
Glad to see however they are making the fleetside bed.

LMC won't be the only guys selling these bed sides.
