I think they're a fantastic option, the only reason why I needed to repair mine was I was in a situation where I turned off my QS and turned too sharply hitting a pole. Before that, they didn't even show rock chips
Maybe, the 3 factors you'd have to check would be does your fleet side split like these do or are they spot welded to the bed, 2 if they do split do the bolts match up and the hardest one would be finding them. I scoured the north west and ones I found were used, in worse shape and several thousands of dollars. If someone had a fab shop they could make molds of these and sell them as replacements and make a sweet couple of bucks.
If your bed is split/uses a non metallic outside skin they might. It's just a 6.5' bed but the qs panels are exceedingly rare and I wasn't able to find any company reproducing them. Honestly they're there to accommodate a wider axle from the factory you'd probably be better off adding some fender flares if you're attempting to get the same affect.
Handcrafted overlanding, I actually found some in Virginia, but the owner is only selling the panels, and my dad was telling me that they will sit on a fleet side bed, i just gotta remove the metal panels, and install the qs panels, but i was just asking just to see of anyone knew more lol
@@kevinvaquero39that’s what I’m thinking of doing.. if you did it lmk how it went! I have a stepside but thinking bout making a quad out of a fleetside bed for my other truck
Like a dream! I'm going to miss the quadrasteer when I sell it. It's turning radius is so small! After the side repair the only things worse for wear is the headliner, the padding in the seats and the cheap running boards. I got the transmission rebuilt less than 3000 miles ago.
I got the same truck, I really love the turning radius. Also, I live in sac too 🕺
Nice! I bet we've seen each other! From what I've seen there's another champagne one and 2 black ones!
I got a 02 stepside with same material bed missing a chunk from being jack knifed from previous owners liked to see someone else do it first 😅
My 2003 QS Silverado has the plastic bed panels. Fortunately, they are in great shape.

Can u list all the tools u used to take it off I’m doing the same thing and it would help a ton?
You think I can put these panels on my fleet side

Do the qs panels able to fit on a fleet side bed?
