Rust free truck beds
Having a heck of a time finding some vintage 2000 sheetmetal. Specifically a truck box 8ft for that era Dodge.
Anyone have any connections to someone down south, TX or out west? |
I see them on FaceBook Marketplace from time to time, a group of them usually from some chap that buys them from down south and brings them north.
Also, download the app BRZO for your phone. It's a great app that searches all of Craigslist and works really well. |

Anyone have any connections to someone down south, TX or out west? There is a shortage of clean stuff down south. I had an employee smash a 2002 1500 chevy. Insurance wanted to fix it, I took their check and sold the wrecked truck "as is." Took a shot in the nose (grill/bumper/headlights/radiator/frame ends and of course the airbag). It ran/drove short distances fine (until it got warmed up/no radiator). I sold the whole truck on craiglist to a guy buying it just for the bed/tailgate! He said a clean bed/tailgate is $2000 so he bought it, planned on parting it and was going to fix it/put a wood stakebed on it and hopefully resell it for what he paid me ($2500). Truck was 10+ years old at the time, I took the cash and the insurance check and bought a new one. |
most of the places i googled were in ohio by you guys, brand new take off beds by the lots just sitting

Check on Car-Part.com most large suppliers will check multi state areas. LKQ corp. is throughout the US and will search the country for you.
|
Also check with companies like Monroe and Ready truck parts, they sometimes have take off beds from vehicles they converted.

I looked pretty regularly for a used rust free bed for my 2007 2500HD Classic(sold it) and never found any that I thought were priced decent.
