Styleside bed panel mounting kits

Hi all,

Gearing towards completely rebuilding my bed which likely means stripped/snapped OEM bolts and nuts holding the current panels. Wondering if anyone has a part list or can point me where I can get a full replacement for all fasteners related to the styleside beds?

Also - my existing 75's driver bedside has a single round hole for the gas filler. Unfortunately the panel is rusted through so I have a replacement which has a single square filler hole. Will the existing filler and vent hose fit?

Thanks!

I just ordered a Master kit from AMK and am totally impressed with the packaging and individually labelled bags.

So I am a bit confused about the AMK master kit:

https://www.amkproducts.com/master-k...s&element=Body

It doesnt look like there are bolts specific for the bed, aside from the bed floor...? Or am I missing something? I see fender bolts but nothing specifically mentioned for bedsides.

The Body Bolt Kits though seem to have everything, but it's not explicitly spelled out what subkits they include...:

Any ideas? Suppose I can reach out to them too

The styleside bed is pretty much all welded together. Other than the hardware for attaching the tailgate, bolting the bed to the frame, screws for the light lenses and fuel filler neck, and the bolts for the small fender supports it's all welded.

Ah that makes sense. So really minus the tailgate, the bed is mounted to the chasis with 8 bolts and nothing more?

What is the "small fender" you're referring to?
