500 MJ Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Anyone bought a replacement bedside for their comanche? I want to get a new drivers bedside for this summer when I paint and am wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get the panel... J/Y is way out of the question cause the panel I have on there now is in way better shape than any of the ones in the yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokhound Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 i don't think that you can buy these any more or ever could :nuts: but if you find them buy every one of them because if i recall right this was gone over a while back :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've got a bed that is going to be scrapped in the fall, the drivers side is repairable. No rust, just a few largish dents that could be popped by a decent body man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm looking for a bedside that rust free is the main thing. If the dents arent that bad I might be very interested in it. Have any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Pete, that's what I've got drawn up on mine...but you u have to cut it at the pinch weld all the way down the box to get the effect :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yah, I saw the Rusty's ones but I'm not going for the whole prerunner look... They have the front fenders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500 MJ Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Whoa. No way I am paying that for a replacement panel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 But you love your little MJ.......Go for it, treat it to a brand new side panel, and it will love you back :teehee: See my other post for another source - (Sheet metal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm looking for a bedside that rust free is the main thing. If the dents arent that bad I might be very interested in it. Have any pics? my drivers side has one dent, towards the front of the box that could be popped easily, mind you, I plan on wheeling this thing all summer with the bed on it, so by the time it comes off it might not be in such good shape. Has two quarter sized surface rusts spots. near the back. When I take the bed off I'll let everyone know, I'll have a good tailgate as well.

aemsee Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I poked around on the chrysler site. A whole box was 1300. A right side out panel was 304 and a left was 1200. Something sounds funny, and they probably would come up as "not in stock". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemsee Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If you go to the link that wildman put up it lists both side panels AND complete boxes for Comanches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If you go to the link that wildman put up it lists both side panels AND complete boxes for Comanches he speaks the truth. a new short bed for my 91 is $1345.50. but... I'm not payin that when i can get one from someone on here or a JY. just need one without rust holes. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Somebody should try ordering some stuff and seeing if they actually do have it. They have the roll bars for both SWBs and LWBs for about $150. The bush guard for $80. And maybe some other factory options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 hey look, they have rear flares!! and floors and almost everything else. none of the cool things like the winch bumper and roll bar bed cover, but a lot of stuff. seems i was on here once before though. who is going to try to order first just to find out they don't actually carry the stuff. or what they do carry looks like crap compared to the real parts.

Alex Hey, since you put it that way, let me be first in line :D . The right side bed panel is tempting for $300 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
