oldjeep Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Anyone have some good side shots of a short bed with the lower panel cut off the bed? I found a couple on pirate, one of which looks pretty good but its small and from an angle. I picked up a different bed for my kids 90 and the top 3/4 of it are pretty decent - most of what is below the top of the buldge is messed up. Something like this: (Pic taken from pirate thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, what's the point unless the lowers are rotted to extinction? I'd rather replace the bedsides. Don't they flap around in the breeze or are they anchored somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I just cut the rear lower's off. If I didn't they'd be smashed up from wheeling. A few pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, that looks good. SUA? Looks like, or maybe just angle of the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they flap around in the breeze or are they anchored somehow? Mine were rusted through, and the PO had smashed them pretty well. I didnt want to deal with replacing them...only to have them dented up again. I have already put a dent in the bottom of the lip, so if the whole bottom was there...it would be a mess! And no, they don't flap. I don't have them anchored either...I guess its just the way they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjeep Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 The bed I have is smashed pretty badly on the lower parts. I'm not willing to spend a whole lot of time repairing it and from the pictures I've seen it doesn't look too bad with the lowers cut off. Once I get a couple other projects done I'll drag the extra bed back to the shop and see what I can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 as long as you don't get up into the fender the bedsides should not flap around, there's a pinch seam right there where the inside of the box, the wheelhouse and the bedsides are held together. That's all the attachment that my bedsides had, and why I had to fix the pinch seam when I cut my wheelwells too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AydanR99 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Anyone still active in this post? Curious if anyone has replaced the lower of bedsides or even all the lower body area like photos shown with steel square tubing or anything like that? Thinking of doing to mine since mine are pretty banged up from previous owner aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 There hasn't been any activity in this thread for TWELVE YEARS. That should answer your question. My question would be, once you cut the quarter panels and/or bedsides open, how are you going to close them up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
