The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Name that part ... Help identify these Bedside Panels

Don't know what truck these side bed panels fit on. I know they are step side but what truck and year. Would like to find a new home for them. What's are they worth? Thank you for your help. Steve

They look like 1954/55 first series .look to be longer than the shortbed .The stamping were the fenders go are similar to my 54 .

The longer panels would be from a Chevy\GMC 3/4 ton or a GMC 1/2 ton long bed or if there 9’ long, they would be from a 1 ton.

I'm gonna say they're 1-ton judging from the distance between the front and the next stake pocket near the fender mounting. Also '54-55.1 from the fact that they have flat tops. I think I saw that the embossed areas for fender mounting are '54 only, but can't be sure about that.

I noticed that there are 4 stake pockets. Did the 1 ton have a 4th short stake pocket?

I found a ‘54 Chevy 3800 for sale that has the forth stake pocket, so I believe it’s for a 54-55.1 Chevy 3800. I included a picture.

Yep, 1-ton bed sides. Here's a pic of the Boss' (or is that Peggy's) 3800, showing the 4th stake pocket.

Thank you all for the info. Now I will have to measure the length and make sure there are for the 1 ton. Anyone know how long they should be?

From what I heard on this forum, they are nine feet. A 3/4 ton is eight feet and a 1/2 ton is about six, so if it’s closer to nine, it’s from a one ton.

Lazste - Below is a screenshot from the GM Heritage Center documents (same picture and measurements for 3800 pickup bed for 1954 & 1955.1) that can help confirm your parts. These are "Inside" dimensions. If your bed side panels measure over 105" long, they are definitely for the 3800 and 9' bed.

From gmc Paul’s site shows the bed board lengths for one ton on the list
