Truck bed

I got hit on my pickup bed the whole side is pretty done for.. I dont know if i could replace the side or I need a whole bed.. If i have to buy a whole bed i was thinking maybe i could just go ahead and put step side bed instead of the regular bed. My truck is a single cab 2004 Tacoma.. ANY SUGGESTIONS????

 

step sides are FUGLY

 

And good luck even finding one...

 

^^^This.

 

Seems like a bit of work to convert a first gen to a second gen.

 

Depends on what tools you use. Since the bed would have to be fabbed anyway it doesn't really matter what it's sitting on in the pic.




It only took me about 5 minutes to covert my 1st gen to a 2nd with a phone call and a credit card.

 

can't tell you how many times I've consider doing this with my trailer.

 

That's pretty sweet!

 

those beds are fucken badass... probly outta my budget though lol

 

That truck just screams "WINNING"

As for step sides, don't do it! They are so ugly and remind me of this:

 

Uckin Fugly

 

damn that is sexy!!!

 

Would love to have this or see someone on this site have that, so much win in this photo

 

build thread for that beast?

Holy crap that is so sick... and totally impractical as a DD.

I love living vicariously through you and all the other members doing cool shit to their trucks.

 

My 04 xtra cab was hit by a back hoe in the rear of the cab and front corner of the bed. Most of the auto body shops I took it to were going to replace just the side panels. I ended up finding someone who was just going to replace it with a used bed in good shape. The old bed was pretty dinged up.

 

Thanks. I think im going to end up doing the same cuz mine is pretty bad the cost of the body work is gonna be more then replacing the whole thing and mine is pretty dinged up as well
