    Does anyone make replacement bedsides for the fleet style beds . I have a 1965 GMC shortbed that has good quarters but someone cut out the toprails to mold in tool box's.

    No one makes the short fleets at all, USBody source makes fiberglass long bed sides...but they are fiberglass. If you find a SWB Bed, be prepared to pay dearly for it, even in bad shape.

    why don't you pay this gentleman for the top rails (2-3' long) have him cut them out, and ship them to you. pay him the $40.00 plus labor, and shipping....would that work since all that you need is the top rail ?

    I couldn't find where you are, but if you are anywhere near Northern Arkansas, I have about 10 donor trucks.

    I am in the Kansas City metropolitan area. It appears we are about 5 1/2 hours apart. I have been to Jonesboro, AR and I see Ash Flat, AR is on that route. I am interested in learning more about your 10 donor trucks.
