Title: 73 fleetside woodbed question
Post by: dr.ifixit on March 02, 2018, 12:29:26 pm
As I have posted here before , I'm restoring my grandpa's 73 c10 long bed . I'm done with the rust repair on the cab and need to find some bed parts .
Question, I need to find the pieces ( I'll have post images later , it won't let me post larger images) that go along the perimeter of the inside of the bed but on top of the wood . They have a bead rolled edge and I currently have no way to fabricate this.
Does anyone know if there is a reproduction of these ( I know not very many fleetsides came with wood so even if I could find them for a short bed that would give enough to start working with.
Thank you

I have not seen anything specific to fleetside / wood beds, but Classic offers unstamped angle.  Id assume that could be what you are looking for
