Flareside bed

Im looking at a flareside truck that has really good fiberglass sides. If I get the truck I would probably sell the sides or the whole bed, if somebody would even want it since its so rusty. What my question is, how much would just the fiberglass sides be worth to sell? Im not trying to sell them on the forum since I dont even have the truck, Im just thinking in advance.
thanks

i just paid $60 for one fender (the fiberglass part only) that I pulled out of a pick and pull yard here in california. I know prices are a little higher here than elsewhere in the country though.

Those Flareside fenders are getting kinda rare,so i'd imagine what Em paid is a minimum.It honestly depends on who's selling the fenders,and if they know what they got.I'm sure you could easily get 100 out of em each,as long as they're in good condition.

Ok, I was just wondering because I was planning on taking the bed off if I got it.

Thats if you can find someone that want them. I had 3 pair that i crushed and thew in the dumpster, cuz no one would buy them. There are not alot of flairsides out there,and being they are fiberglass they dont rot so usually there is no need for them

I had to cry a little bit about that. It took me so long to find a fender cuz i never see the flaresides at the jy's. I about gave myself heatstroke pulling the one i got. I felt like it was a total jackpot!

Yeah. I had them for sale for over 2 years in 3 differnt junk papers and signs up in every auto parts store in the county. I destroyed them so no one could use them, if they found them in the garbage

My flares are in really good shape, however the box is pretty rough so I have been on the hunt one in better shape however I find they are hard to find as well.

A good box is the hard part. The bottom of the stake pockets rot and where the wood bolts to the bed always rots.
