Can you build a new box from lmc truck?

Guessing this is primer where the toolbox was and there are a couple holes on each side that bolted it in.

This is the underside on the passenger side from the front of the bed looking back. This is what the entire underside looks like. Even the cab was this clean.

No major dents, heck I don't think there are even any minor dents. Paint is eh but if you're repainting that's no biggie I suppose. I no longer have the tailgate, got an offer on it a couple weeks ago. I'd let the took box go with it for $400.

Sorry, I was gone a lot last week. I'll be home today and will get pics.

I bought an 84 c10 that im completely redoing. My box is repairable not completely shot but would need two bed sides, tail gate, possibly a floor instead of messing around doing patch jobs. I live in Michigan so finding a good long box with no rust isn't possible. If you find one someone wants 1500 to 2000. Then you still need to strip down and spend a few weeks getting it perfect. I was wondering if its possible to just buy everything from lmc and assembly a brand new bed. Has anyone ever done this? Or will it like crap?

I agree with @Scott91370 yes, you can build a new bed. All the pieces are available thru different vendors (Truck Shop seems to have the best price)
But it will cost you a small fortune. Shop around for a used one, they’re still around and I’ve seen some in great shape. Check Craigslist etc. there’s a guy on Indianapolis CR that has California C-10 Parts..cabs and beds.

It’s all relative.. new bed panels will Cost over $3,000 and some guys think that Scott91370’s bed at $400 is too much.

$400 for a solid bed... id JUMP ALL OVER THAT! especially since i paid $200 for my whole truck! A $1k bed is outta the question.

I don't have an answer for you, but if you do go the LMC route please keep us updated! I'm curious about the quality of their new Goodmark replacement parts and might consider them for repairing my shortbed.
