Hard to describe, but not the vertical portion of the bed side but the top horizontal portion with the tube. I see most companies offer complete stepside bed panels, but mine are OK except for the tube.
Also, for stepside fenders are there patch panels available or just whole fenders? Thanks.

Can you still call it a barn find if it's your barn? | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,037 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,037 | I don't know of anyone who sells just the top portion of the bedsides. Your best bet may be to find a bed that's rotted away at the bottom (pretty common) and salvage the hopefully good top portions to splice on to yours. I think you might even be able to adapt a pair of 47-55/1st bedside top sections, as they're basically the same except for being angled instead of flat. It might be worth a call to Mar-K (Toll Free (844) MAR-K844) to see if they could help you out. There was a member who fabbed new complete bedsides by welding flat metal to exhaust tubing of the correct size for the rolled portion.
I don't know of fender patch panels for 55-59 stepside fenders, although there are front patch panels for 47-55/1st rear fenders available.
You might try posting a want ad here in the swap meet forums.
