Hi all,

I'm assembling my bed for the first time, and I've never seen a complete bed before.

I bought used(great condition) bed floor, wheel tubs and front bulkhead. I purchased new short bedsides from LMC.

Basically, I know there are some supports from the bed floor to the front lower part of the wheel arch. I also believe there are some mud guards as well somewhere. And maybe some covers around the gas fillers??

Questions is, what parts are needed to complete the bed that I am missing? I only have the major parts, so if I can identify what I am missing, I can go on the hunt to find them.

Thanks!

I tried to list everything I have. I have nothing that I didn't list.

without me knowing what is supposed to be there, I can't ask/look for it.

From what I'm seeing....bed floor which should have a he cross supports, bulkhead, bed sides should have the tailgate posts unless you only got skins. Then there is the multitude of bolts and wheel wells and the support rods I pictured above.

On the rear of the wheel wells there is a panel that serves as a mud/rock guard.

6.5' I believe. Shortbed. 73-80. Round hole filler.

No I dont think you can get just skins. I have the full bolt on bedsides from LMC. I'll get some pics of what I have today.

this is what I vaguely remember. When I bought my bed floor, it had a very damaged and destroyed bedside still attached I cut off/removed. I remember there being some other little pieces, but everything was so damaged I don't know their true shape or function.

this is how I have the front of the wheel arch support bolted up right now. doesn't seem correct on the top mount?? The tab doesn't sit smooth/flush. I compared the two bed supports I have and they seem identical, not left or right. LMC also lists them as being the same PN left and right.

I feel like a mudguard bolts in here on the backside of the inner fender/bedside. But I dont have pics of one and don't have any on my donor dually.

I have these filler/guards from when I got my bed floor and it had a trashed bedside left on it.

They are for the passenger side- but I'm still waiting on my passenger side bedside from LMC. They are on backorder.

Anyways, one goes around the fuel filler and one goes after the wheel well and looks like it keeps stuff from going up the bedside and/or in the tail light area.

Are there any other of these types of guards/shields/fillers? I'll have to get a set for the drivers side.

Looks right to me. They are identical.
