Default Stepside Ram Question?

Hi Everyone. I own a 1997 Ram. It has a fiberglass chevy bed with ram taillights. There are fiberglass effects around the wheel wells and along the bed. I have some breaks and chipping on them. i know there are more of these trucks out there. Does anyone know where I can find replacement parts for the the effects on the bed?
Any information will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you have a 2nd Gen Ram with a 'glass stepside bed on it, it would be the first that I've ever seen [&:] And oddly enough, I was just thinking this morning about building a custom stepside bed out of a Ram truck box. [8D]

As far as replacement parts, try jcwhitney. I know they sell replacement fiberglass panels for a lot of different things. Or try a decent local body shop. They should be able to get you what you need.

I'd like to see a pic of that truck. I really like the look your describing. I thought about trying to find an older utility bed for my 2001 SB, but they're probably wood bed.

In my humble opinion that is OUT FRIGGEN STANDING! There is obvious attention to detail as in the body line flow from cab to bed. I've bought trucks for 35 years cause I like em, more than need them. I like shortbeds. I personally think dropping the utillity bed was a big Dodge mistake. I think if they reintroduced them in a WS format for $15K they'ed sell the **** out of them.
