I have an 83 D150 with an 8ft bed that kinda looks like swiss cheese. The bed bottom has a bunch of small rust holes in it because the previous owner just tossed a plastic bed liner on an original bed. I live deep in the rust belt so finding salvage parts is not easy and LMC and the like don't have anything for bed panels. Does anyone know where I can find any? If not I will probably have to bondo the thing. and I really don't want to do that. I also know that if I turn to my old school mechanic grandfather for advice i will end up with a riveted panel or a flat bed. I would really like to avoid that.

 

Doesn't look like the long bed panels are reproduced but you can get the wheel arch section and both front and rear lower sections and piece it together. You may be able to find nos panels but you will pay for them.

I actually did not see any bed pieces at all. Even the arches. The bed side sections I do find on RockAuto have no real picture. The Picture is wrong and is so old that the resolution looks like it came from an 02 flip phone. I may have to dig a little deeper in the rotted areas and see what I have to work with. I can post photos in a few days.

 

Check out LMC truck. They seem to have full bedsides available.

 

LMC truck doesn't have ANY bed parts at all for his year!

Erm, is isn't this what he is looking for?

 

#1 is - 56-9848-T Bedside-Outer Skin-Left Hand "A" Longbed 72-80 (left and right hand)
He has a 1983, The sections listed there are the same as what everyone else has.

 

Well, it was worth a shot.

 

Yep, Im looking for the actual bed floor. Also i will post photos tomorrow

The best way to explain is with this page
https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/part...sweptline.html

What i need in the diagram is labeled as 13 and it is discontinued on that site.

Parts are more available for the truck now then they were 5 years ago (hence why I restarted this project). But there seems to be not much love for Dodge Trucks after 1980 and before 1995. Its kinda weird. Especially considering that people are becoming more interested in them.

 

Bed floors are not reproduced for Dodge, You can get them for GM. The shape is a bit different but with some work you could make them work.
