relyt120 Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 My current one had been wrecked and poorly repaired and the body shop wants $1000 to fix it, fat chance! I've searched and searched for a new bed but now i've got to beg! PLEASE OH PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A SHORT BED IN GOOD SHAPE LEANING AGAINST YOUR BARN YOU WOULD LET GO OF AND YOU ARE IN THE VICINITY OF TENNESSEE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PRAISE YOU LIKE A GOD. :bowdown: :thumbsup: Thanks!
KYMJ Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Are you needing one that requires NO body work? I'm assuming yes.
relyt120 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Preferably but most anything would be better than what I already have :D
KYMJ Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I've got one you can have but it probably needs more than you want to do. Unless you can do your own work.
Dadinator Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I posted the other day that the Louisville, KY Pull-A-Part has a very nice short bed MJ. Check them out. The bed and the whole truck looked to be in very good shape.
relyt120 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks!, ill do that. :thumbsup: - unfortunately i have absolutely no body work experience :headpop:

Bricker Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 There is also a nice 1987 short bed at the pull a part in Winston-Salem, NC. There is no tail gate but the bed is in good condition. Good luck

1987Comanche Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I ran across a nice one on an '88 at LKQ in Greenville, SC. Posted some photos in the Pub if you want to see them.
relyt120 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Got bed from PAP in Louisville, thanks to everyone for suggestions. By the way getting that thing off was the most difficult thing I have ever done. It took HOURS, rust + no experience = hardest thing ever Had to ask someone to help me, said he too had a Comanche. If this was someone on here- thank you for supplementing my ignorance with your knowledge! Anyways new bed Will post pics when I get the thing off back of uncles truck in the morning.
Dadinator Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Was it the black one? You said they had a new one... so did they have 2? If so, what was the other one like? Glad you got your bed. I told you that one was in good shape. What did you have to give for it?

I told you that one was in good shape. What did you have to give for it? It was the black one but there was another as well, but it was pretty rusted up. It was maroon and had a camper on it, oh it also still had the bench in it. As a matter of fact it was pretty complete, but like a said it was too rusty for me to work with. I gave $190 for it with the tailgate, core fee would have been like 26 bucks but the sweet old lady working the register didnt charge me for it, or for the tail lights. :thumbsup: Thanks again for the heads up- I'm glad I was able to get this one because I couldn't find anything down here. Here's some pics: Also I saw this awesome J10:
Dadinator Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Was the one with the camper a long or short bed? I'd be interested in the camper shell if it was a long bed.

Exgrayxj Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 $200 with gate and lights is a good deal. My closest upull lists truck beds for $66, plus $4 core (?) minus tailgate and lights. Of course, none that I could use. Waaay better than fixing a junky one. Good score.
