Are 60-66 Stepper Bedside's same as 67-72? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toomanytoyz · 04-30-2008, 09:56 PM

Need to Replace the Bedside's on my 67 Stepper I just Got, I have a Lead on a 60-66 Bed in my Area & wanted to know about Possible interchange on Them?

Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated, This issue is a Big Hold Up in Getting the Truck Finished.

Thanks, Rick

i am pretty sure they are not exactly the same but some jo blo on the the street wouldnt be able to tell the difference i think where the difference is is the top where it rolls over for the top of the bedsides and also the bolt holes for the fenders themselves but thats a given other than that i dont know any more and am not 100% sure about it

Yes,I mean no.Everything but the fender mounting,AFAIK.

I know on the 73-87 beds the front area where the steps mount are different (you need to weld the lower portion of the 67-72 bed where the step bolts up to the 73-87 beds)... are they different on the 55-66 beds as well???? For some reason... I'm thinking they're the same??? But if it's a super nice bed, it may be worth filling some holes and doing some welding work?

60-66 have nearly the same steps.Thet don`t tie into the front stancions like`73-ups.

Rick the bedsides, front panel and tailgate are the same up to '87. I believe the only change was the fenders and the step.

Richard is correct ... same all the way up thru 1987 ... although some of the fender mounting holes are different on the later years ... can't say for 60-66

55-66 had the same fenders

all the fender mounting holes are different than 67-72
