can anybody tell me where I can get a new bed for a 72 chevy short bed. I saw one in the classic truck mag and it was from lmc but I called them and they said I have to make up the order myself but I really don't know all the parts I'll need so if anybody knows where I can get one with everything in kit that would help a great deal thanks jim  

Have you checked out Brothers Trucks, they might be able to help you out.  

Yes I did but they sort of made me feel like I was a pain in the butt. I can't understand it after all I would be spending about $3000.00. They said they would get back to me but that was 4 days ago. Thanks for your reply   Jim        

We ran a segment in our Get Shorty series in CCT, and listed every part number from LMC Truck, and showed step-by-step how to put it together. Now if I could only remember which issue it was in.  

Can anybody tell me if a late model bed would bolt up to my 72 chevy C10 short bed. Maybe I could save some money that way.   Thanks   Jim    

Shoot, if you don't care what it looks like then you can save some real money and turn it into a flatbed. Two sheets of plywood can't cost that much. Throw on a set of mud-flaps, and call it done.  

Check out our tech section it might be in these somewhere.  

here is an article showing a short bed kit

Early Classic Enterprises has a short bed kit. And www.lmctruck.com has pictures on the web of the parts you need.  

Good one John, the flatbed thing was funny.
  Anyway Jimbo, the TRUCK SHOP has all you need, I was there yesterday. They are in Orange. California
