I just need one bedside for my 89 pickup. Anyone know where I can get an aftermarket one for cheap? Also how easy/difficult to put one on?
Thanks

 

I am in Canada so I can't help you on location but I am in the same boat. When I had my 88 I went to a auto paint supply place and they can get steel and fiberglass sides for 89 to 95 trucks. He had one there and wanted $250 for one side fiberglass. He said they are not that bad to put on you basically just glue it on. If you get steel you will need to weld it together at the front and the floor. I am going to try the fiberglass one in the spring.
Let us know how it goes so others can learn. (ME)

 

Junkyard?

 

good luck finding a rust free one

 

Here's a link to a shop in Canada, I think he is on this forum. I've read good stuff about his products and I think he makes bed sides as well as full boxes.

I'd like to see a writeup on installing fiberglass bedsides - mine came with the truck, and were riveted on. They're solid but I'm just wondering if the guy did a hack job or not..

they fit great .

 

just to let you know ... these are NOT our pieces ..
they are from Cross canada .. and produced by Canuck Industries in Ontairo ..Cross canada has been banging down my door , for 3 years now, wanting to sell MY product (because of the quality) . Please dont confuse us with the others .

 

Sorry to Hijack, while I have your ear Slacker do you make stock appearing 84-88 fiberglass hoods?

I'm grafting a small scoop on my hood for an intercooler and the bracing on the bottom of the hood would have be removed to make everything line up and I'm afraid It would make the hood kinda weak and floppy.

NOT STOCK .

 

Looks good, I would go with some thing like that, but the scoop probably won't fit/will mess up the lines of a nice hood. I'll figure something out.

 

Are these as strong as the stock (non-rusted) beds? My '88 has the single wall bed, but seems pretty sturdy -- although it's starting to rust along the seams pretty much everywhere now.

 

it's a complete replacement hood !!
or I can get you a new steel one for $100.00 CDN

EASILY ... as strong as stock .

 

Wow. So awesome. I wish I had the time, money, tools, friends, space, and willing significant other to put one of those beds together on my 89. Really nice stuff there man.
