Re: 79 stepside bed on 72 chevy frame
IMO it wont look right. Your front and rear wheel openings will look different

Re: 79 stepside bed on 72 chevy frame
the wheelbase is off a little, and the bug 'bubble' fenders would look funny... otherwise, it should bolt right on with little to no mods

I have seen quite a few with that bed on them and am pretty sure they have the same mounting locations so it should be a breeze.

Re: 79 stepside bed on 72 chevy frame
the box os close, but not the same. There is a FAQ thread that covers how to make one correct.
