Fleetside bed w/ wood floor &/or factory toolbox

[Bennyt]

I know they are rare and its a longshot but if anyone happens to have one or a lead on a wood floor fleetside bed and/ or the beds that have the built-in toolboxes/ compartments like Fords had. I know its a long shot but any condition, complete trucks or parts considered.

I've only seen a couple of the wood floor fleetsides and I heard that only about 3000 were made from 73-79.

Never seen the bed with the factory compartments other than some old advertisements online and I've heard it was only made for 73-74 so I know they are extremely rare as well. Any pictures would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!

I have seen one at a car show and it had both wood floor and tool box but I can’t find the picture of it. It was a 73-74 3/4 4x4 chevy

Try these guys, they sell the parts for the fleetside wood floor. I didn't research but they may have a way to convert the steel to wood.

I found a breakdown of the parts on another site.

Thank you, I actually reached out to them in the past. I actually have one for my son's truck that he is building that we are shortening from a LWB to SWB, but am planning another project for the future. Trying to start collecting pieces now.

I am actually glad that these beds aren't supported by the aftermarket as it makes them rare and unique. Only the bedsides and tailgate are the same. The wheelwells and front panel can be easily modified but every other piece is unique. I think 9 separate stampings for the perimeter flanges for the wood, different rear panel that the bed sits on, as well as different bed floor supports.
