Dang! Look at that bed rise up! That's cool!
Thanks for the video. I've been dismantling a similar bed and was wondering why it wouldn't come apart after I took all the bolts out. Now I know. I just don't understand why the bed sides are held by bolts everywhere accept on the rear section where they're welded. I'd guess it was just the easiest and cheapest way the put them together at the factory. Thanks again.
Awesome! Glad it helped. Good luck with your project! Thanks for watching!!!
That's a beautiful square body sir and great work
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for posting. Helping people 2 years later!
Glad to help!
Fantastic video!! Very informative!!👏👏👏
Thanks for the helpful video brother, just wondering where you purchased your panel from 🙏
@Leonard Gurule - National Parts Depot at 900 SW 38th Ave, Ocala Fl 34474. Call Toll-Free: 800-874-7595 or website: www.npdlink.com. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!!!🙏🏾
Didn't look like nothing was wrong with the original bed side. Little body work
That’s the magic of a slide hammer and a whole bunch of bondo from the mid ‘80s. It was worth the time and money to replace. Thanks for watching!
Great video where did the side come from and how well did the body lines match up ?
@thomasvaughn15 - The bedside panel came from National Parts Depot. The body lines match up like the original. Here’s a link to the part and Thanks for watching!

I got to replace both sides!!😢
@angelmunoz5019 - Wow…I feel your pain! Take your time, you can do it. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Nice vid! Let me know if you need an extra set of hands to help out next time. I work in exchange for drone lessons.
Nice drone flying!
Will do! Thanks for watching!
So how did you get it to fit better in that rear post?
Use a ratchet strap in the driver and passenger side rear stake pockets, then tack weld the base of the post to the floor like the factory. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
This video has been very helpful! but I cant get my side to aline any tips at all?
Which portion of the bed is not aligning? For the front portion near the cab, consider using the old paint marks of the bed panel as a reference to get you close. For the rear portion near the tailgate, a ratchet strap on both end cap holes (one on the driver bedside and the other on the passenger bedside) can help close the gap. Leave all bolts hand tight until you are satisfied with the alignment. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@BronorisPye thank you so much!
Great instructional...you make it seem so simple 👍
The original panel was much heavier than the aftermarket, but it turned out pretty good. Thanks for watching!
Nice video keep em coming
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Did tailgate and all bolts line up??
Yes. Everything did line up correctly. I also installed all new hardware (i.e., hinges, pivots, trunnions and latch assembly) on the tailgate. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I have an 82 long bed that both my bed sides are rusted, slightly dented up and one even has a small part cut off right behind the wheel. I'm guessing it was rusted so bad they just cut it off. Either way, I figure it'd be better off in the long run to just replace the entire panels than patch it like an old quilt my gramma made.. On the reassemble, did you have to weld anything or just use bolts? I plan on just buying all new bolts too, so they are nice and clean. I don't want any squeaks or rattles if I can help it, This truck will eventually get painted and be a side ride just for car shows and cruising, not so much a daily. Also, how durable good is that EDC or EDP finish? I'm wondering if/what I should put over them. It'll likely be a year before I get to get it painted. Thanks again for you time and advice.....
@ Invisalink Missouri - There are a few tack welds at the base of the end post near your tailgate. It would be great if you could tack your new panels in the same manner as the originals. If you are not concerned with alignment or possible structure support down the road with regards to your tailgate, then I can see foregoing the tack welds. After you install the panels, the EDP coating will only remain temporarily, before Mother Nature starts to work on it. Hope this help and good luck with your project!
thanks i gotta do the same thing to mine but on the passenger side
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
Wondering how you are running the hose for your filler spout to your gas tank, I have a 1978 Chevy c20 with a dump box very similar to yours and have been trying to pick my brain on how to be able to get gas in it without having to always raise up the box... you see had a issue a while back where it ran very low on gas but I couldn’t get any fuel into it without lifting the box which the truck had to be running in order to do so you can probably understand the issue there, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks
@Josh - I still lift my bed for refueling. I have a shorter fuel filler hose and vent hose connected to the original fuel filler pipe. This assembly and ground strap are attached to the frame with a piece of angle iron. Tank Inc. has a nice fuel filler door kit that can be mounted in the floor of your box. Check out their website. Hope this helps and Thanks for watching!
