Them bedsides would go great on my old man's truck but by no means hang onto them, if you can sell them then do so. I'd love to get them and fix th eold man's 84, gonna need to find a bed floor or build my own for it too, just too much rust here

Dad's bedsides both sides have terrible arches, and then got some rot in back behind the wheels. He doesn't have the money to put into it anymore so I'm gonna try and do what I can.


I'll pm bucket and we'll see what we can work out on it though for sure.

I think I know the one. I can for sure handle patching something on the backside not seen LOL. I thought maybe you had chopped the lower corner off the back after these pics or something

@Swims350 here are a couple pictures of what I’m talking about. There is a brace that runs behind the tire, also a curved piece that goes behind the tire, almost like a small mud flap or gravel guard. There are a couple holes on the top of the bed rails where there was a tool box or tie downs, but the should be easy to weld up. There is a little rust where the passenger side front fender brace is supposed to attach.

Awesome, just didn’t want there to be any unpleasant surprises.

im working a deal with another member on the full set now, but if that doesn’t work out I may consider splitting everything up. I remember someone posting about them but I think he needed rings for 7” wheels. These are 8”. Not sure of the difference.

The hitch I have is from my shortbed truck. From what I remember, it didn't take away from the spare tire area at all. I removed it because I didn't care for how it looked when I put the stepside bed on it. That, and it kept me from towing stuff with the original drivetrain that was on its last leg.

What area of NC are you in?

Yeah these look like what I need but I saw you were leaving them together. Shipping from NC is probably about the same as shipping from PA too. I'll find one eventually and am not in a big hurry.

You were the one looking for some? If you could use these, and the other guy that I can’t spell his name to save my life wants the centers, I would consider splitting everything up. The other trade we were working on for the wheels didn’t pan out. I can’t imag shipping would be terrible on the trim rings, they’re pretty light.

I am in Kentucky, 42503. Let me know what you want for them and how much ship.

You mentioned they aren't the original rings, what did you see that made you think they weren't original? This is what I have. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/beauty-ring-for-7-rally.22899/

When I got the wheels, they didn’t have any accessories. I bought the caps from another guy, and traded theee aluminum wheels for the 4 rings. But I have three of one style and the fourth style is a bit different. I haven’t had any luck getting them to snap on the wheel but I could be doing something wrong. If you wouldn’t mind measuring one of yours and letting me know, I could make sure these are in fact for 15” wheels. I definitely don’t want to mislead anyone here on what I have.
