WIW 68-72 shortbox fleetside (just box) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wondering what a rust free shortbox is going for. New sides, front panel, tubs, original floor blasted and primed. Floor has no rust but a few small dents. Assembled and ready to prime and paint, but it doesn't look like I will get to it this year, and I hate to have sit yet another winter. Ideas?

New repro sides or gm?

I'd guess up in Canada you'd be able to get 1500-2000 easily if repro and 2500 if they are gm sides and in very nice shape.

New repros cost around 2-2500 plus shipping and if it's nice original people prefer that. And knowing how hard it is to get nice stuff in Canada you might get even more...

Beds which haven't been redone and need work will only sell for $500 up here. If they're are an absolutely MINT bed and all original maybe $2gs but finding the right buyer up here is the problem. People are cheap and don't like to pay a lot of money so sometimes stuff like that sits a long time. I know guys selling mint blazer floors but are asking $500 and nobody will spend more than $100 on a blazer floor, even though they are rare around here, especially already blasted and primered.

^ Yup, I agree totally with everything you said.

You are right..couldn't get a single sniff for 2K. Guess I keep it.
