The biggest reason you will have a hard time finding one online is going to be because of the size, cost of shipping, and they are easily damaged during shipping. I can get one for you, but shipping on it is likely going to be high since it is going to have to go on a freight truck, and I'd bet it's going to take a couple of tries sending it to you before one makes it unharmed. The first thing I would need to know though would be whether or not yours has the utility box on it. Let me know, and I can go from there. A cheaper alternative would be to see if any of your local salvage yards have one, or a complete bed even that might be the same color, as that would save you some money being that you could then just swap the whole bed.

are you sure your is not repairable? I have done some amazing things to bedsides to save owners some money. do you have any pics of the dammage? if you do post them up i should be able to tell you if the part can be fixed or not. you wouldnt believe how wadded up the have to be to not be able to repair them. I just recently did one of the youth pastor at my daughters church that was shoved in a good foot it was bad enough that teh tail light was sticking out 3 inches where it meets the quarter panel. unless you can do the work yourself expect to pay a pretty penny for the install of the bedside because it will take about 4-4.5hrs before you get into painting it and with shop rates between 65-90 an hr its gonna sting. if i knew what part of the country you were in i could give you a better estimate of whzat it will cost.

Well i have gotten two quotes for the repair on it, and they were 1400, and 1320, im pissed b/c damage isnt that bad. I can do all the install myself, i know that much. So i'm wondering what a qp for my t wil cost??

The only bad thing about that, check out shipping on it. After you pay for shipping through them on just about anything, you're better off going to your local dealer, and buying whatever it is that you're looking for.

BigBruno, I never looked into the shipping cost, but yeah I can imagine it would be huge!

I am up in Canada so most of the stuff I buy out of the USA gets dinged with brokerage fees so for many things I have to find a local supplier (or my local Nissan dealer) who can get it, but then it is usually way more even taking into account the exchange rate (which is close to par now whoooo hoooo!).

The prices on courtesyparts look good compared to my dealership, but who knows after all the shipping/brokerage.

Don't suppose you ship to Canada?

I'm pretty sure I can ship to you, but it would also have a lot to do with what it is that I'm shipping too. Big pieces like sheet metal really isn't easy or cheap to ship to anybody, in the US or not, just because they typically have to go on a freight truck, making the cost of shipping quite high. if you need anything, or are looking for anything, let me know, and I'll be more then happy to look into it for you, and see what I can do about getting it to you.
