Re: swb stepside bed

Decent short Fleetside bedsides go for $300 or more all day long. I've sold nice Stepside fenders for $300. But, I don't see the Stepside beds bringing anywhere close to the Fleetside prices. I would say if it's good clean metal it could grab $800. But, I still see better deals than that.

This isn't the first dibs section, But if anyone in the East is interested in a bed from Texas had better not forget to figure in shipping cost. It's been a while, but since I've been here I wanted to buy a Stepside from a member in TX. He wanted $300, which was about all they'd bring just a handful of years back. To save money he agreed to break it down and strap to a pallet (@ no extra charge). ABF was the cheapest at $500-ish. So, that $300 bed jumped to $800 real quick. Freight prices have taken a few spikes since. I imagine that $800 to be closer to $1,000 by now. Large freight items like this can cost nearly as much as shipping an entire truck.

$1500 for bed up here would be pretty crazy as you can get a complete fleetside swb truck for $2gs here. Not many people pay top $ for just a bed here in the Northwest unless it's restored & painted. Texas is also a rich mans places with over priced stuff these days I find & we have enough guys coming to the west coast buying all our trucks & parts & reselling them back east for quadruple the price lol And people wonder why prices are so high on some parts. Damn eastern guys & their rust jacking up these truck prices lol

don't know about Texas being a rich mans place but people are sure beating a path to move here. load up a bunch of those $2000 swb trucks and bring them here. could easily double or triple your money. I have a truck and trailer lets go in business!!

Re: swb stepside bed

I've been tempted to go buy a bunch of trucks and strip them and then take a trip back east with the good cabs/beds lol I figured with the amount of money guys are paying back east for stuff I could drive all the way there and come back with a profit still. I was actually going to sell my last truck back east as it would've went for double the price there, based on comparable ones, but didn't bother lol I had a rust free cab with doors which were rust free but had a couple dents, easy to pop out though and I got $600 for it. I couldn't get more than that around here and I saw guys down southeast and northeast paying $2gs for the same thing. Guess we are spoiled here with low costs of vehicles and parts, but I also have limits to how much I'll pay for stuff lol

Re: swb stepside bed

Nothing new about that idea. I'm building my '67 with a cab out of SoCal I've had for 25 years. What's new is all the buy-ins discovering these trucks. People used to think I was crazy and no one saw the value in rustfree. This was when there was no reproduction anything. It didn't bother me robbing trucks from the west because it was such low impact. These days it bothers me and I wondered how locals felt. I can recall not too long ago on this site you could buy a Stepside bed in TX for $300 and the Texans were saying that was crazy, they could buy a whole truck for that

Re: swb stepside bed

It's amazing any are still out there in barns and pastures. It seems very few went for junk even once they gave up the ghost. These trucks have been a beloved thing since day-1. It wasn't but a couple years after the '73s came out I started having guys coming up saying "I used to have one, traded for the new style, wish I still had it". my first one was a '72 big block Highlander shortbed I bought off the OK Used Car Lot in '73 for 2,800 bucks. Looked like nothing was ever put in the bed...like new. I don't recall the mileage but it was way low. I figured some fool hardly used it when the "ALL NEW" ones came out and he foolishly dumped the it to be the first on his block to have one. I guarantee he was wishin' he kept it. Those things rusted out back east in a couple years. ford guys were lovin' it. Who's laughing now? 67-72s held up to rust around here better than the 67-72 or even later Fords!

Re: swb stepside bed

Hindsight being 20/20 most of us would have done plenty of things differently had we only known. I for one would have bought the first 67-72 Chevy I drove but didn't. It was a 68 short fleet gold with white top and 327 auto. anniversary colors . I'm no collector just a fan of the design.

I would have thought a stepside bed would be worth a good deal more due to fewer built than the fleets. I have a stepside for my 69 but have given thought to going fleet instead. I like me both.
