Body Panel Website - Including Bed parts

I found this website where you can order replacement truck bed parts or even a whole truck bed. Has anyone seen this site? I searched the forums and found nothing but the place seems pretty cool. Has a wide range of year models. Let me know what you think.

Doesn't look like the gas-door hole is cut on on the right side of the box skins. Shouldn't be hard to cut out though. My truck bed need both sides replaced, some patching in the floor and a new tailgate or maybe a whole new truck bed lol. I would like to order a piece from him and see how it goes. I would probably do the left side first and maybe a bed floor panel patch. His front fenders are also half the price of what I have found new steel ones on other websites.

Thumbs up

Slacker- Off topic but after browsing your site I just wanted to say I hope you're still in this line of work in a few years, because after I join the Airforce I'm planning on replacing almost all my 1st gen's body panels/bed with fiberglass, and you seem to make a very high quality product.

15 years in business so far , and we're almost booking a year in advance . I have dozens of NEW products to bring to market if I can ever get them done ! I'm quite confidant we will still be in business for many years

This is the only thing holding me back. I was ready to get an order put together and then read that all the mouldings were based on canadian specs. I was bummed to say the least.

I do have my fingers crossed because I need a new bed.

I emailed them with some questions and got no answer so I stayed away... Slackers stuff is sweet. But I think Im gonna carve out my 2x4 fenders. Or maybe make my own fiberglassflares.
