WTT: 03 Bed for a Stepside Bed -OH
 
I have an 03 FX4 Regular Bed and want to trade it for a step side. Anybody? Mine is in great shape, does have two holes where the toolbox is mounted. The paint code is TS which is Silver Frost Pearl Metallic.

I have a shop that we could do the swap in, so please let me know.

too bad it wasn't red, and closer to me, i would swap you in a heartbeat

Hitch Mar 17, 2009 02:38 PM

I just like the looks of a step side, ya know? Either you love them or hate them.

Auto Mar 17, 2009 02:45 PM

do you care what color?

Hitch Mar 17, 2009 02:58 PM

Yeah, I kinda do. I really don't want to have to repaint it.

I have a white flareside bed but that doesnt do you much good color wise.

Hitch Mar 17, 2009 03:39 PM

No, but I will keep you in mind in case I can't find the right color...thanks

Now we are talking! I don't have my camera here but I will get some shots later today. The paint code is TS which is the silver color. Check your door tag. We may have a winner folks!!!

Hitch, if you have an FX4 then you have fender flares, which means you guys should probably trade front fenders too..

Hitch Mar 18, 2009 06:47 AM

youre right freddie, I forgot about that!

zabeard Mar 18, 2009 06:49 AM

ACE's truck is silver frost, I am about 100% sure.

You guys can meet inbetween at my house and swap them if you want.

Hitch Mar 18, 2009 07:04 AM

Its starting to sound like a road trip...

Ace Mar 18, 2009 11:33 AM

I'll go check when im heading out to lowes in a few min

Hitch Mar 18, 2009 11:56 AM

Great. I am not sure yet when I can get away from here, but it would have to be a Sunday...

I think we have the same i wasnt sure so i snapped a pic

Hitch Mar 19, 2009 07:29 AM

That is the same code. I am good to go then, just gotta find a time to do it. If you were coming to the spring meet on the 11th here, that would be good, otherwise, lets look at what weekends we can meet and if beard will be around, he has offered his garage for the swap. My thought was if we timed this right, I have a PA 3" lift that I want to install, so what better time than when the bed is off anyway...

Let me know what your schedule looks like and we can go from there.

Ace Mar 19, 2009 01:08 PM

I can do any day just pick a date and i can get it off.

i have a few questions can you get some pics of the holes you are talking about and does your bed have a bedliner or anything?

and i think meeting at beards would be our best bet since its about half way for both of us.

zabeard Mar 19, 2009 01:14 PM

I am good just about any weekend. If its a sunday I prefer afternoon.

Ace Mar 19, 2009 02:46 PM

also in the process of doing this do you think we could weld in my bed crushers b/c i plan on getting a 4 wheeler at some point.

they dont need to be welded just set then inbetween the bed and frame and tighten down there a tad taller then the gap needed and will get sandwiched inbetween

Hitch Mar 19, 2009 03:09 PM

I will try and get some pics this weekend, the holes are up front and about 3/8". They were used to bolt the tool box down instead of using the j-bolts that came with it. Beards is cool, and a sunday afternoon would work, I figure it should take about 3-1/2 hours for me to get there.

My next 2 weekends are booked solid, so maybe April 5th or the or the 19th? To make it easier, I'll do the body lift another time.

The 5th is good for me.
