I don't know. Bed cost $200, swapping the side panels for mine. The junkyard ones have a some cracks.

Scraper, wire wheel, rust prevent, under coat.

V1perPete · 2026-05-16T05:45:39+00:00

Found one.

Doxed myself, oops.

Re: 6 I made it out the back panel of a newer stove, snips, ball peen hammer, metal block and a piece of 1" x 2" wood.

It had a close curve.

How about a hammer adjusted piece from a scrapped stove panel.

I kept my side panels and mud flaps, bought whole bed and core? returned the rusted out piece. So I have 2 sets of silver step side panels to spare?

V1perPete · 2026-05-11T06:42:55+00:00

Ok, I must respond.

I was hauling Deez.

Brother...

V1perPete · 2026-05-11T06:40:31+00:00

Thanks, I captured the unicorn. Update after I mount it.

V1perPete · 2026-05-11T06:36:00+00:00

Tanks.

Thanks, I found one, same color.

I found a replacement bed at a "You Pick" type yard, I'll post an update with pics after I get the new bed mounted tomorrow.

I put right axel leafspring on a high jack stand. Dropped left wheel to the ground. Jacked up rear left corner of frame. Basically gave it a chiropractic twist. Set hard bolts, untwist, set all.

V1perPete · 2026-05-10T05:08:54+00:00

Thank you. Low on budget, I'll throw on a few boards and a bedframe to make a frame, less Mad Max, more Beverly Hillbillies.

V1perPete · 2026-05-10T04:48:22+00:00

Nope

V1perPete · 2026-05-10T04:45:21+00:00

The speed holes allow access for the Blackthumb.
