Collector walkthrough

How to use the Custom Fleetside page the right way.

Match the casting details first, compare the close variations second, and use the member value layer only after the car checks out.

Read the walkthrough

Use the page from the top down. Start with the main photo and the specs card. Compare the wheel, base, color, and tampo against the variation board. When the casting match is clean, move into the value guide. If the car still looks close to another version, send better photos before you trust a price.

Exact variation matching

Use these checks before you trust a seller title or a fast marketplace guess.

  • Match the title to Custom Fleetside before reading price claims.
  • Use 1968-1970 (Original) 2003 - 2025 (Retool) as the production-window check.
  • Cross-check Description, Hong Kong Versions before calling the variation exact.
  • Use the open page for reference. Use membership for sold comps and value ranges.
