Box panels for a 66 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wutnxt · 01-01-2011, 09:45 PM

I am looking for new hoods and short box fleet sides does anyone know if they make them ? I can find doors,tailgates,header panels and the rest but not box sides and hoods. If you know of a supplier could you point me in the right direction please.....thanks

I have never seen reproduction fleet bed sides for the 60-66. You can find reproduction hoods here, but they are fiberglass.http://www.usbody.com/

A couple years ago there was a rumor of the short fleet bedsides being reproduced, but I've not seen any yet. You can get patch panels for them though. So to answer your question, there are not any hoods or bedsides being reproduced in steel. There are the aftermarket fiberglass parts, but from what everyone that has bought them says, they are all crap and definitely not worth the money.

Well.....
No good news so far , ya I don't want to run fiberglass " been there done that " . I thought I had seen the box sides someplace but maybe I was mistaken. I guess there is always plan B Get a couple of premo old ones and have them dipped...anyone else?

The only bed side for our trucks are from USBody source, they are only in Long bed and only in fiberglass.

As was said above, ya just gotta find one on the CL or internet somewhere, they are scarce and high

Thanks for the link. It's not often that you find reproduction parts for our trucks that are made in the USA.

I believe that Classic Parts offer patch panels in that same size, but I doubt that they are made in the USA.
