Re: short fleet bed only

Since shipping will be very expensive, take palletizing or crating, and risk to damage from handling, the value is based on local market. My hunch would be $500-800.

For an example, back 6-7 years ago I wanted to buy a Stepside bed from a member in TX for $300. He was going to have to break it down and ship on a pallet (consider the labor, loading, and transporting to freight terminal). It was going to cost $500+ back then to ship and I know rates have risen sharply since then. Breaking a Fleetside w/steel floor wouldn't help reduce size by much and would be more work than worth. I imagine shipping a loose bed would be very expensive today
