Dealers won't have that stuff anymore. LMC trucks has 'em, no I don't think there OEM, but they do the job.
Are you looking to replace just the fender archs or the whole bed side...?

Lucky you!
Depending on the price for the bedside....and the work to install it, in my case it would much cheaper to find a clean bed and swap it on.

No we deal with then for western star truck parts but they said they have a huge variety of parts for all makes! Its about 1500 for a southern box here soni figured replacing te sides is easier. My dad works at a autobody shop so te work wont cost much to put them on

Do you need the inner or outer skins, or do you want the whole side?
If you want the whole side, then they changed between 1980-1982 / 1983-1986. not exactly sure why, or if it's just part number updating.
Would help to know the year model of the truck you need.
