None of the catalogs I have show reproduction sides for the long bed stepside. does anyone know if they are available?

Thanks,

Nope. It was a very rare truck at the time, and the number left is probably less than triple digits now. You might be able to piece together what you need from a short stepside.

I would agree with not many, after the wide boxes were offered, folks that needed hauling capacity went with them.

There just isn't much demand for a long narrow bed. IMHO

Thank you, gentlemen.

Half a lifetime ago I had a1934 BB-131, with the express box and always liked the lanky looks of the ouside fenders. I had even considered replicating that box, using the more modern front panel, fenders and tailgate, from mahogony or Brazilian cherry.

To me, nothing says "truck" like a LWB stepside.
