$1500 LWB Take Off... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I finally got over to look at the LWB bed my body shop (Curt) said he had for sell and yes...in my opinion it is worth $1500. This is a 1971 GMC bed that was taken off the original truck back in 1972 and has been in dry storage since then. It has all the lower moldings which are in very nice condition and the bed looks like it just came from the factory. I can't use the GMC tailgate thats on it (shucks) since my truck is a Chevy but I bought a very nice 70 CST tailgate about ten years ago for about $75 that I will use. I looked underneath the bed and zero rust! I got pics but I won't be able to show the pics for a couple of days until I get back home. So down the road I will have a nice/decent fairly rust free LWB bed for sale. Good floor but the sides are not.I know some will say that is way to much $$$...but to make one good lwb bed out of two will be costly labor wise and it still won't be as nice as this bed. Yes...down the road I will sell the GMC tailgate but I need to do some research to see what I want to price it at. My truck will go into the body shop in about 2-3 weeks for its transformation.
