    My 66 is almost perfect, but my 61 (worktruck) needs an entirely new bedbox. I can find every style bed all day EXCEPT longbed fleetsides. I'm not lookin' for panels, I need a whole new box !! Anybody know where I can get one without pickin' up a whole new truck ???

    Thanks, Tom

    hey Tom, I just moved back to Oklahoma from Chugiak Alaska, just north of Eagle River, this past summer. There don't seem to be too many 60-66 Chevy/GMCs up there. There are tons down here though, maybe you will have to make a run outside to find one. Welcome to the board!!!!

    So I've noticed !!! ha ha ... I keep my 66 in California so it won't rust away !! I've been lookin' for about 7 years now, all I can find are fiberglass reproductions for like $6000, or another whole truck.

    Thanks for the welcome, pic comin' soon !! ha ha

    how far are you willing to go to pick one up?
    and what condition are you looking for?
    can you repair yours with patch panels?

    I'll go just about anywhere army permitting, but I'll pay just about anything for shipping
    Can't fix this one with patch panels cause it was hit in the rear before I picked it up about 11 years ago and I only knew how to fix so much being 16 years old. The bed's not square is my biggest problem, along with the structure damage of the bed box itself.

    What kind of shape are we talkin' ? Love the price, if it's good enough we can see about coordinating for shipping.

    123hull,

    I have a very nice long fleetside bed available. I am in southern Minnesota if that is not to far away.
