Can anyone direct me toward a good source for OEM or aftermarket sheet metal for 1st gen trucks? Other than finding a donor truck, is there a place I can order a new bed? New fenders? I've found a few sources for fenders, but no bed. I also need a grill. Where do you guys shop for restoration jobs?

 

If you need a bed, forget metal, fiberglass is all thats available. Just goole (fibeglass beds toyota).

If you can get the molds, you'll be my new bestest friend. P/S you're closer.

 

pretty sure i ordered new front fenders from jc whitney and it was cheap. fit pretty good.

 

OMG front fenders are all over the place .. there are tons of aftermarket pieces avaliable , we stock them and sell them at our shop .. I was talking about bed sides !! and this is what I thought the original poster was talking about as well .
Front fenders you have
partstrain
jc whitney + + + just do a search for those ..

There are metal bedsides actually avaliable as well , but i'm super hesatant to sell these .. like the Wolf Steel pieces , we used to offer them .. but DISCONTINUED them when we saw the quality of the product . the bed sides are completly flat , with NO lip and no compound curves .. it is simply a sheet of steel with a wheel opening cut and a body line bent in , + there is NO fuel filler opening .

I refuse to sell .

I thought the wolf steel was a molded piece, photos show that.

 

I think you mean ' stamped" .. NO , they are ALL bent on a brake


.

 

bent, stamped shmamped, there of a shape yes? VS flat.

 

quite a bit of differance between bent and stamped ...



.

 

Ah well not that i'd ever go to metal after fighting with the one I have for 20 years. BT I sure wish year 88 bed wold accept my tailgate, or maybe i'll do the skins.

 

Sorry my U key kets stuck.

I have never ordered from them but have a look at the panels they sell. They have rockers,fenders,door skins, and box sides and box floor panels. Look at the pictures for the box panels. They don't look bad at all.
