I've been collecting stuff to do this to some trucks for a while. The box will be the hardest to pull together, I have a couple sets of bedsides but shipping to you would be a pain. From what I've been told the box dimensions from the early 60s through 87 are the same, but the design of the wheelwell openings, as well as the steps to line up with the cab body line would need some work, as would the crossmembers and mounts to the frame, absolute worst case scenario, find a pair of bedsides from an 8' step bed and the rest can be bought new through catalogs, although at a hefty price....

maybe www.mar-k.com ?

Mar-k.... well nobody for that matter.... reproduces the 8 foot bedside, at least not yet. There's talk of doing it but no dice. You can buy new bedsides for the 72-under trucks, but again you need to plan on some fab work to make it all fit nice....

Where you at in GA? There's a junk yard down below me that has a lot of Chevy trucks. I don't know exactly what he has, but it'd be worth a trip.
