Please help '82 flareside, bedsides
My grandpa has a 1982 F-100 W/ the 302 he bought brand new. About 7 years ago (long story) used it to haul freight. The truck itself is in fair condition, but the bed (besides the fiberglass flares) is toast. I've been looking all around for parts and have yet to find anyone who has the bedsides. I've checked Mark k in OKC and they dont even make them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the info, I remember finding that dennis carpenter site in the past, it does look like they are the only ones who make them. It's nice that the are OEM reproductions, aftermarket parts just never fit right but the shipping is by truck + crating fees = around $1400 for just the bed sides. Still cheeper than having someone fabricate them but it's still a lot of money. I probably have about 6 or more months to aquire the parts need for the restoration. So if I can't find them elsewere i'll have to go through Dennis Carpenter. Thanks to all of you for your help, (I as well as the rest of the family are centimental about her ) i just can't wait to get her back to her former glory.
