Standard bed to stepside conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

guardianfyre · 09-10-2007, 02:45 AM

I have a 79 half-ton pickup with the standard bed. It is rusting. Or should I say it is rust. I've been thinking about replacing it and have always prefered the look of the stepside. Can I simply find a stepside bed off of another comprable truck and swap it with mine? Or would there be major modifications to the frame in order to get it to fit? I don't know if it's just an optical illusion or not, but the stepside seems shorter.

Thanks,

Guardianfyre
