Red Q-steer. Great condition and inexpensive. Of all I've looked at, either a bedside would be cracked/broken ($$$) or the color was wrong ($$$$).

Why? To be different.

That's cool. Those things are hard to find. Lighter weight composite bedsides and wider flares for big tires is a nice bonus.

Thanks Corbin!

Well, we're all set for our little "Smokey and the Bandit"-type run tomorrow and Monday. :roflmao:
Even found a Victory Red front fender that I needed thats right on the way. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone.

On Monday, if anyone sees a blue GMC on the freeway with a red truck bed strapped to its back, thats us. :roflmao:

The bed is really no wider than our truck's with flares....but there's more usable space under the q-steer wheel wells. ;)
I've always liked them, even the little lights.

When I was building my 2000 gmc nbs 1500 into a prerunner years ago, I always wanted to get a bed with those fenders on it and use it over the aftermarket prerunner fenders. They look better to me and hold up much better
