I am talking about the fenders, or box sides, not the tailgate,
and no i don't really like the idea of the aftermarket fenders with bigger wheel wells because i don;t really have a use for them because i am not planning on getting bigger tires without a lift and i don't really like the look of them either, plus then i would have to buy new fronts aswell, so i am just trying to keep it stock, and i didn't really want to go with fiberglass because you will never get it straight and there is the risk of cracking, so i am willing to rick the chance of rust again,
i have prriced out new sides and they are $300 which is resonable but i have no idea how hard they are to put on
thanks for the help oso far

Just thought I'd throw that out there. if it was me then I guess I'd try to find the complete box from a salvage yard. i'd be calling everywhere I could think of. haven't had much success trying to find salvage parts via the internet.

k well i found a box 6 hours south of me in maple ridge, i can get it for about 800 bucks which i am willing to pay but i have no idea what condition it is in, i am just going on what the junkyard has told me, it has a dent in the left side which in no big deal with no rust, but i am working everyday and don't really feel like going down there and having it turn out not to be worth it, does anybody here live down in the vancouver area / maple ridge that might be willing to help out, this would be muchly apreciated, keep me posted

Are they open on Saturday and what are their hours if they are? I'm heading up to Van. Friday night on a double date, but I won't have time. However.... I'm heading up to Van. Saturday to take my girlfriend to see the "Symphony of Fire". I've got plans in Bellingham from 10-12pm. But I have some time in between to check out the bed.
