Re: stepside bed diffrence

Same concept, no marker light hole. DOT(?) Mandate in 68+ model year .. and the 67 stuff is a little harder to find in my limited experience.

Re: stepside bed diffrence

I have a 67 stepside bed that someone cut holes in for marker lights. I was looking at using it on a 71 and doing the openings right and it would require finding some donor stepside fender and cutting around the marker hole about 1" or so. Its hard to explain and I dont have any photos, but the fender is slanted vertically and the maker hole is stamped to stick out more at the rear than the front. Changing a 68-72 to 67 would require cutting the marker hole out and welding in a patch, not merely welding in a filler piece like on a fleetside. I have a 67 bed for sale, or fenders only, but its all in central Texas.

Actually, the link in the first thread was the for sale ad for the bed. Here it is again:
