After crusing through ChevyDuty and LMC catalogs this looks like a money making opportunity.
(On a tangent) I wonder who owns the stamps for the fleetside box now? Maybe some South American country bought them and presently make 58/59 Chevy trucks? I know that Equador presently makes brand new 57 Chevy cars.
(Sorry to hijack your thread)

I've got a nice 58 fleetside standing in the backyard. I'm a fiberglass mold maker and have thought about copying those box sides but I don't think it would be worth the investment.
38 original
48 panel
59 stepside
46 in the back forty

the Cameo fiberglas sides are being reproduced, but some of the other special bits are pretty scarce

I was really hoping that they did sell them. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 7 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 7 | well i appericate the help help. i guess ill buy a ney step side from mar-k. i have the truck pretty much restored, i just dont have a bed ,thanks for the posts | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 | I too like the old fleet beds. Maybe because I still have the one my Grandparents bought new in 1959. Sometimes they have been made into trailers and you can work a deal with the owner. It is just an old trailer to him. I bought a really nice bed (trailer) a few years ago that was full of trash. Before that it had a camper on it and was in good shape. We are glad to sell you a step bed, but if you really want a fleet bed, be patient, look in every bargain shopper you can find, and it will be waiting for you.

I will sell it all for $500.00 it all needs a fair amount of body work. You will have to pick it all up in Western Washington . I restored a 58 and changed it all to step side. feel free to call if interested My name is Randy 206.605.0831 | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,073 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,073 | RandyV, Just wanted to mention here (so this doesn't cause some heart failure someplace) ... this post is okay in here since BIGBLOCK77551 was initially asking about all this. If you were generally "selling" this stuff, it would be listed in the Swap Meet (which I'm sure you know). Just curious, did BIG want them?  Thanks ... Peggy

Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
