I got the bed sides from another online source that sells them. They fit good but all of the holes needed to be elongated to install the bolts. If you do replace yours with new ones my suggestion is to elongate all of the holes first. Save you a headache...

That is a great job you did converting it to a shortbed and those caddy taillights look awsome.  Cant wait to see it with some paint on it.

Thanks! Me too! I want to get some tail lights that actually contour the body in place of the caddy tails since they sit recessed. Maybe Chris knows someone that can help  design them. Back to body work once the engine is back in.

Just found one of their ads in a Street Rodder.  The email is led.info@lambertenterprises.com

Oh and here is their full website, not sure where I got the first link.  Lambert Enterprises

I did this twice, once with a 3/4 ton 4WD 71 and later with a 1/2 79 4WD (rotted frame)

I'll have to dig up the pictures....

Wow.... very nice truck... i love the slot mags on it aswell... I am running 5 star e/a's and i have been trying to find a set of slots for my 81 white swb for awhile, but they are hard to find.
 After seeing your truck I think they look great (now i dont have to wonder)
    Awsome job on your truck and hope to see more pics soon.
 Anyone know where a set of slots are?
