Bedsides?

I have a '72 blazer with a bent up right bedside. I was just wondering if a bedside off of a short bed pickup will work as a replacement? Is there a modification to be made so the front of it can be a door jam? Any insight on this would be most helpful. Thanks, Eric

Or if you have deep pockets, try Evil Bay

Re: Bedsides?

Yep, IIRC 6 inches needs to be removed from the swb sides.

Re: Bedsides?

Thanks for all of the input! I might get a different bedside and chop it like the pictures. The part that is dented on mine is the rear, I would rather replace the whole thing. There is also a gas filler square hole I need to fill in.
