Re: no S.B. bedsides.

I checked LMC and Classic Industries, both out of stock. Goodmark says they have them. I added bedside to my cart, said "In Stock." ???? Kind of spendy.

Thanks Mike

Re: no S.B. bedsides.

I ordered a pair 2 weeks ago locally - I was told that they have scrapped the short box tooling and I got one of the last pairs. Word is that the stamps are worn out.

The good news - they are apparently making much better tooling which is supposed to fit like OEM now - but seller I spoke with said they will be LMC exclusive item and probably cost a bit more. And no timeline on when they will be available.

Re: no S.B. bedsides.

this makes sense. The short box sides I got last were terrible. not only were the stampings off but the fitup of the inner and outer were off on their own part.

so you could tell their tooling was really getting loose.

Re: no S.B. bedsides.

Anybody have an update on SWB box sides? Is the new tooling complete and box sides available? Lots of places online say "out of stock".

Re: no S.B. bedsides.

This here is an option, since the besides are still not available. Watch the video.
