I have a shot at an undamaged 61/2 foot stepside bed.  I will contact the company.  I'll let you all know.

I was hoping to find a stepside bed - I like the sporty look on a short frame.

Bed was sold last Friday. :(

I called Keystone about whole bedsides, they claim they don't carry them - is this true???  I have never dealt with them before.

Starting to get very frustrated........  Yesterday while putting on the throttle cable, I broke the transmission kickdown switch on the gas pedal >:(  then right after that I broke the plastic piece on the very same cable that attaches to the gas pedal. :o

I cannot get the right accelerator cable for the dang thing.  I've tried the ones at auto zone, advance and NAPA - ALL TOO LONG!!!!  THe one I broke yesterday was a universal one that I cut myself - everything worked except the instructions said to add 2 inches to my measurement and that made it toooooo long AGAIN!!!!  I was trying to take the slack out of the cable when snap goes the parts......

It's raining in my life right now!!!!!

Thanks for letting me rant - now back to fixing the bed?

The switch near the gas pedal is only for th400. The th400 has an electric solenoid used to downshift, th350 and 700r4 do not.
