need bed sheet metal, need help

[goomba1]

the bed on my truck is rustin out pretty bad and i need help finding new wheel wells on the inside. i have searched for hours online and all i can find is wheel tubs and i don't want that. anybody know good sites that sell any weld in body panels like that?

Go to local junkyards or classified and get the entire bed cheap

Im in NY my buddy down in New paltz ny has a mint std cab bed... think hes looking for 300... possibly could talk him down

i appreciate that but still out of my price range especially for the long drive it would take to get there.

The dealer? Perhaps a body shop can order you an aftermarket part?

[goomba1]

its an idea but i was thinkin more along the lines of tubs but not quite cuz im not lowering it that far if at all i just want like cheater panels

[RT22]

call a meatl shop they can make the tubs , any good shop that deals with race cars or any good metal fab shop can bend and weld em to fit.

If you don't find one you could take a metal bunk bed take the bottom one out and shorten the legs like one of those futon ones with the futon on the bottom and a single on top. double Metal Beds

No Shyt. That solution sounds even worse than a ghetto fab job.

Tubs or trailer fenders would be the best solution. Either way you go you're gonna have to do some fabrication. welding them in would be the best approach, rivets work too but look crappy in the end. Self tapping screws are the cheap slacker method.

If you plan on lowering more than 4" inches or even going with a air or juice suspension it's a moot point even messing with the wheel wheels until then. you'll be cutting them out anyway and will have to have new tubs or even raise the bed floor.
