Bed For My Truck
I'm going to get rid of the 1992 bed on my truck and going to get an original bed. I don't know what kind I'm getting, would either stepside or fleetside work? Also, will any short bed 1967-1972 fit or only particular years? Also, what hardware will I need for this swap? Thanks in advance.

Re: Bed For My Truck
good move . either bed should work , the earlier beds wont have the side marker holes in the fenders , i would think you would need mounting hardware and mounting pads is the harness stock for the lites ? is the tank back there ?

Re: Bed For My Truck
No the tank is up front, so that shouldn't be a problem. Not sure on the wiring harness for the lights. Are 1967, 1969, and 1971 stepside beds identical? Are 1967, 1969, and 1971 fleetside beds identical? Thanks.

Re: Bed For My Truck
Either bed will work, depends on what look you are going for. Stepside would probably be cheaper. SWB are kinda pricey whether new or used. MAR-K builds a nice step side bed (I've bought 2, see my link). Goodmark sells most of the stuff to build a SWB.

Re: Bed For My Truck
A good swb rust free bed is hard to come by. I just used a good lwb bed and made my own.
