hey guys I'm looking for a Japanese short bed for my 87. idk if I should look for a fiberglass bed because I've heard a lot of negative stuff about them.
Check your local junk yards. Getting one shipped with be expensive. And yes, biggest issue is the rust between the upper and lower bed walls. Hope u find one in good shape.
don't know where your getting your fiberglass info from ? .. check us out https://www.facebook.com/toyotafiberglass/ but .. we are VERY busy ... and there is currently a 2 year waiting list .
frinzo I've been looking for some decent beds, but I tend to see the American style 90% of the time. And they all seem to have horrible cancer in the same areas
talk to a few of my buddies about fiberglass fenders, bumpers and ect. and I seem to get the same results. like ohh its not flexible and they crack over time from vibrations and sun damage. I will definitely check your page out in a second
that is 1960's thinking .. like any other industry , FRP has come a LONG way !! My company builds with all NEW 21st century raw materials .. our specific ISO resin has virtually eliminated spider cracks .
@87pickup_ you are correct the beds are getting harder and harder to find. Thats why im thinking of doing what i can with mine that i have now. Hope ur able to find one. U want to look more in the southern states also.
that's ok .. my shop is currently BOOKED 2 years in advance , with deposits .. so pricing as we know it right now is only going to go up like everything else . best of luck in your repair ...
