70's Dodge truck sweptside short box?

Does anyone cast the short box without the side moldings? Looking to mate it up to my Lil Red Express cab.

I picked up a resin short box on E Bay last winter, without side moldings. Mustang_Mom (?)was the seller. I'll see if I can find her info.

It was better than nothing but the box needed a LOT of work to make it presentable. It looks good in Root Beer, though.

mustang_mom44820 is her Ebay name, but it's listed as no longer a member.

hoppersbazaar is another seller that might have some short box listings.

The Modelhaus did offer a shortbed conversion but they are no longer in operation.

I too, have been looking for a resin shortbox for the LRE. 

Thank for the possible sources. As I have been coming up empty.

I cast a shortbed for those. Just remade a fresh mold yesterday for it.

Nice! How much re-work is needed with your resin? Are your products pretty clean or is there a lot of flash/mold imperfections?

[Trailer Trash Kustomz]

The one in the pic I posted was right out of the mold with only a rough cleaning to remove the flashing at the wheel wells.  I guess I'd say about normal on clean up required. I don't typically use release agents so a good soapy bath is good.

Rusty- how can one order from you? What does that bed include? Tailgate? Taillights? Price?

 

I have a MPC Little Red Express that I would love to put this bed on!

Comes with bed, tailgate, light bezels, and clear red tail lights.  Easiest way to order is my website. www.trailertrashkustomz.bigcartel.com
