Classic Parts of America Bed Sides?

[legopnuematic]

After doing some deducing and maths, it came to my attention that it would end up to be cheaper and much less work to get new bedsides for my 79 rather than reworking the ones I was planning on using.

Around $460(shipped) for all the patch panels needed for my bedsides, then all the metal work on them, getting them media blasted, body work I'm sure I would end up over $700 (the cost for two new sides) by the time I'm done.

Since I live on the Right side of Missouri and Classic Parts is on the Left side of Missouri, its only around 250 miles one way, but not too bad of a distance at all, and LMC is close by too so my friend that owns the K5 and me are planning on making a trip out west to save on shipping.

So has anyone used or heard anything about these panels? LMC only currently stocks short bed sides, but I am planning on getting a GM licensed reproduction tailgate and a 79-80 hood from them while we are out that way. If the pictures are anything to go by, they look pretty nice and since I would be picking them up no worry about them getting damaged in shipping.

Wow that seems cheap, I thought they were in the $700-$900 range

Wow. I have a bed on my property that only needs the driver side panel(its from a 78, so no door, but I could obviously make it a door.) thats affordable.

For the AMD panels they are around 800/side, but they are out of all options for them.

From what I can gather the Classic Parts sides are mfg by Key Parts, which are the same people who make LMC's premium fenders and the GM licences bowties for 73-74 grilles

I work for AMD, we just finished development on the longbed panels and should have our first batch in around mid-May if you can wait until then. They should be very nice though, our prototypes were super nice and well fitting
