anyone know where i can buy this section of the body?

thanks, duckanddodge

 

well...i looked through autopartswarehouse.com and I can't seem to find a bed panel. Probably because i don't think the panel is removable like the fenders...I believe they are welded and usually are only found on existing bed assemblies, but I could be wrong on that. Looks like you hit a tree, btw?

 

i'm going to guess donuts in a parking lot and tagged a post? wait, no, never mind, it's a V6. dude you gotta stop bending those fat chicks over your bed rails and puttin' it to them, it ****s up your bed!

 

lmao, BURN!

No seriously though, if you're looking for body parts, try a cemetary or a mourge. j/k

seriously though... unless you want to cut, weld, sand, bondo, sand more, then repaint the whole bed.... just look for a whole new bed. They're not very hard to find in junkyards, just call around. If you cant find one in black, its easier to just paint the whole bed than it is to try and replace the broken part.

 

oh and my v6 does donuts..... in snow

 

on the plus side, if you have the tools, it's a cool way to learn to replacing the one panel. Is there any way the insurance can get it fixed? I don't know what the situation is in the first place to be able to tell. Depends on ur deductible vs. parts and labor. Just lie and say someone hit it and drove away in a parking lot or something =P

 

i smell insurance fraud. and then, some poor bastard is going to get in trouble for having a smashed up part on their car because the cops will find the first smashed up car with gray/white paint and blame it on them. Believe me, its happened to me. Except in my case, I actually smashed into a parked car and totalled it... meanwhile my truck just needed a new front bumper and headlight. lol

That was a long time ago, I dont hit parked cars and then drive away anymore.

Idk if it will come up with the search results, but I searched you're zip code, short bed quad cab, without fender flares, and came up with a whole bunch of bed-sides. It's all used parts, but they all list the condition and everything.

Should find what you need.

 

the bedsides are all spot welded in and glued....
they can be replaced but time/labor always comes out higher than just a swap

trust me....

 

thanks for all the input, i think ill head down to the pull and pay this weekend. this afternoon i took my jack and wedged it up under where the dent was and actually got a lot of it to pop back. but still no good enough to paint over just yet.


and no i didnt "do doughnuts and whip around in to a post in a paring lot" and yes i can do doughnuts with my truck. (vid soon to follow)
