Re: 1969 4x4 is it worth it?
Look at the fender mounting. It is different for the different fenders. Could be fenders replaced. Too bad model number is gone to tell which bed it had. The reasons for swapping Fleetside to Stepside are the same reasons both were offered. Stepsides have many benefits, like a true rectangle with sides same size as floor. meaning, you stack plywood to the top without it shifting. The other benefit are those nice "steps" on the "side" that allow easy access to the front portion of the bed. Third is that is a true pickup. They didn't become Stepsides until Fleetsides came out. All pickups had Stepside style beds until then.
Who would swap wide to narrow bed? Me. Went from Sweptline to Utiline, which really set the Power Wagon off. Made it more of a Power Wagon than a 4wd pickup, if you get what I mean. I'd like to change my '72 Sierra to Wideside
