When I bought my truck it had a 67-72 bed. Rather than replace the entire bed I purchased a couple 58-66 era fenders and steps at a swap meet.

The step brackets are slightly different for each "era" of step and the step is different for each "era" fender so you have to match fenders and steps.

Here is how I went about the fender swap:

1. Use blue painters tape to mask the upper flange on the steps and the fender mounting flange,
2. Using the 67-72 step bracket, bolt the bracket to the 67-72 bed,
3. Bolt the 58-66 step to the 67-72 bracket (as I recall one hole works, one needs redrilled),
4. Transfer the step upper lip flange mounting holes using a pen or a pencil,
5. Temporarily clamp the step flange to the bed with a c-clamp.
6. Bolt the fender to the step,
7. Level the fender with the bed top rail,
8. Transfer the fender mounting holes from the bed to the fender using a pen or pencil,
9. Remove the fender and step,
10. Center punch the step upper lip and fender flange using the transferred hole locations,
11. Drill the holes in the fender,
12. Debur all holes and bolt the step and fender back to the bed,
13. Rinse and repeat,
14. Step back and enjoy.
