Luc Janssens Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 An example of one piece, Revell's '99 Chevy Silverado An example of multi piece, Monogram's '78 GMC with snowplow. Thanks in advance for your input... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Multi-piece, so that the inside of the bed can be done accurately, something which is not possible when the quarter panels, wheel housings and bed floor are all molded as one piece.

Renegade Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Multi-piece. Easier to paint and detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Multi-piece, they are easier to shorten or lengthen that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Multi piece hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I generally prefer the one piece ones..though multi-piece is ok, though some of them have fit issues w/ the fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G Holding Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That depends if its covered or uncovered..Covered ..no preference. Uncovered ..always easier to wood plank with the multi piece Both are assembled and square before paint to assure frame fit on assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 One piece for full width beds and multi piece for stepside beds. When I build multi piece full width beds I glue them all together before paint anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Multipiece is certainly better for molding detail. However, fitment of a multipiece bed is another story. Depending on design, some go together better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 One piece. Less for me to fiddle with, and since the bed of a pickup should be filled with stuff anyway, the lack of detail on the inside panels shouldn't be as much of an issue. And it'll divert attention from said underdetailed inside panels if you put a few trinkets back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Multipiece for the same reason as Fat Brian, easier to change the length. For the stepsides it also makes it easier to use the fenders if you want to put a different body on the back, but still need fenders.
