    All engines

Designed for the left-hand / driver side only. Intended for compatible 1968–1972 Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks. Fits shortbed Fleetside applications, not Stepside beds. Verify bed length before ordering; long-bed bedside panels are different. This is a Smoothie-style bedside, so exterior details may intentionally differ from factory-original bedside styling. Includes the inner supporting structure; compare mounting points and surrounding bed components with the original assembly. Modified wheel tubs, altered bed floors, custom fuel filler locations, or previous body repairs may affect fitment. Tailgate, wheelhouse, bed floor, rear sill, crossmembers, and opposite bedside should be test-fitted before final welding. Professional measuring, panel alignment, welding, seam sealing, corrosion protection, and refinishing are recommended. Large bedside assemblies commonly require freight handling and should be inspected for shipping damage before installation. Final compatibility should be confirmed against the supplier part number and the truck’s original bed configuration.

005Counter questions

Asked about this part

What vehicles does this Smoothie-style bedside fit?
It is designed for compatible 1968–1972 Chevrolet C/K pickups with a shortbed Fleetside configuration.
What does “Smoothie Style” mean?
Smoothie Style refers to a cleaner custom exterior surface with reduced factory-style detailing, making it suitable for custom, shaved-detail, and restomod builds.
Does it include the inner structure?
Yes. The assembly includes the outer bedside panel together with supporting inner structure.
Will it fit a 1968 Chevy C10?
Yes, for compatible 1968 C10 shortbed Fleetside applications.
Will it fit 1969–1972 C10 trucks?
Yes, for compatible shortbed Fleetside configurations within the 1969–1972 model years.
Does it fit other Chevrolet C/K models?
It may fit compatible C/K pickups sharing the same shortbed Fleetside bed structure. Verify the exact application before ordering.
Will it fit a Stepside truck?
No. This bedside is designed for Fleetside beds only.
Will it fit a long-bed truck?
No. It is intended for shortbed applications.
Is this just an outer bedside skin?
No. It is a more complete assembly that also includes inner supporting structure.
What type of damage is this panel suitable for?
It is ideal for severe rust, dents, collision damage, cracked metal, previous poor repairs, or heavily deteriorated original bed sides.
Is this better than using patch panels?
For major damage, yes. A complete bedside assembly gives you a cleaner structural repair than combining several small patch panels.
What material is it made from?
It is typically formed from steel for restoration and custom bodywork.
Is the wheel opening already formed?
Yes. The wheel opening is formed into the bedside for compatible shortbed Fleetside applications.
Does the Smoothie Style change the wheel opening?
No. The Smoothie styling mainly affects exterior detailing, while the basic shortbed Fleetside profile and wheel-opening location remain application-specific.
Does this panel have factory-style trim details?
Smoothie panels may omit or simplify some factory exterior details, so they are best suited to custom or restomod builds rather than strict factory-correct restorations.
Does it include the fuel filler opening?
Fuel filler provisions can vary by exact supplier and panel design. Compare the panel with your truck and verify the supplier specification before installation.
Is this a bolt-on panel?
No. Major bedside replacement typically requires welding and careful alignment.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. This is a large structural body panel, so accurate measuring, fitting, welding, and finishing are important.
Does the tailgate come with it?
No. The tailgate is normally sold separately.
Does it include the bed floor?
No. The bed floor is a separate component.
Does it include the wheelhouse or wheel tub?
Do not assume the wheelhouse is included unless specifically listed by the supplier.
Are bed braces or crossmembers included?
Braces, crossmembers, and other bed components should be verified separately.
Does it arrive painted?
Usually no. Replacement body panels commonly arrive with a protective coating or primer rather than finished paint.
Will bodywork still be required?
Yes. Test-fitting, minor adjustment, seam work, surface preparation, primer, and paint are generally required.
Should I test-fit the tailgate before final welding?
Yes. The tailgate, bed floor, wheelhouse, rear sill, opposite bedside, and surrounding panels should be checked before final welding.
Can I use this on a truck with custom wheel tubs?
Possibly, but custom wheel tubs or altered bed floors may require trimming or fabrication.
Is this suitable for a restomod build?
Yes. The Smoothie Style is especially well suited to restomod and custom trucks where a cleaner bedside appearance is preferred.
Is this suitable for a factory-original restoration?
It can physically suit compatible trucks, but the Smoothie styling may differ from original factory exterior details. For a concours-style restoration, compare it carefully with an OE-style bedside.
Is the LH panel interchangeable with the RH panel?
No. The left and right assemblies are side-specific.
Can I install this on the passenger side?
No. This panel is specifically shaped for the driver side.
What other areas should I inspect before replacing the bedside?
Inspect the bed floor, wheelhouse, rear sill, front bed panel, crossmembers, tailgate opening, and surrounding braces for hidden damage or rust.
Will seam sealer and corrosion protection be needed?
Yes. Welded seams and enclosed cavities should receive proper sealing and corrosion protection after installation.
How much does the panel weigh for shipping?
A practical estimated packaged shipping weight is about 80 lb (36.3 kg).
Does it require freight shipping?
Usually yes. Because of the panel’s size, freight shipping is often more appropriate than standard parcel service.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the 1968–1972 Chevrolet C/K application, shortbed length, Fleetside body style, LH driver-side orientation, Smoothie-style preference, wheel opening, and surrounding bed structure before purchase.
