Re: fleetside to step side
The bed, fuel filler necks, bumper brackets and bumper. If you find one with good wood your in luck. Cut the bolts off and buy new. Trying to take the bolts off is not worth demolishing the wood like I did.
On second thought you may wanna replace the one side of the bed thats damaged. It's really nearly a bolt on issue. |

Re: fleetside to step side
If you get a stepside bed you need to get all 8 bed bolts, make sure filler necks are on fenders and hoses to tank. thats about it.

Re: fleetside to step side
Why the big need to get the bed bolts? I know there are some sleeves on the bolts that you will want to keep fo sure.

Re: fleetside to step side
Step side bed bolts have an ecentric washer that fits in a recess in the wood itself. Plus I think they are longer.
