Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
I have a long bed and was looking threw the first couple pages of the long bed thread above and seen one gentlmen that had put a 55 stepside lwb on his square and kinda fell in love with the look. My question is if i found one of these beds how hard would it be to install it?

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
i think 55-87 is the same bed just different fenders/steps. there were long stepside squares. not many, but they are out there.
here is one i tried to buy. there was an issue with the title and frankly i just didnt want to deal with it. it was only $400 and had a 700r4. this is the only one i have seen in person ![]()

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
I think I helped that guy with the white longbed stepside get his truck out of a hole in a parking lot near my house several years ago. He dropped the front wheel into a massive pothole, and it was resting on the frame. I went and got my floor jack, and we used it to pick up the low side so he could back out. Slonaker |

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
They were trucks for county road workers. A rarity they are. The longbed was long enough to carry fenceposts and road signs. And the stepside part kept the drivers from overloading them

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
I think the bed should bolt right on but finding the bed will be fun tho.

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
Does the longbed stepside work with dual tanks? Interesting look....

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
Im not exactly sure on this question, but i was talking to a local guy here in OKC that stated that he had done up one of these type trucks and said that all he had to do was bolt the bed on and was pretty much it. He was also using duel tanks.

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
Even with these beds the tanks are in the stock location. 16's for short beds and 20's for long's

Re: Long bed coversion to Longbed stepside?
Yeah i don't see a reason why the tanks would be an issue...i have stepped short currently and am running dual tanks from factory. Also to my knowledge you should be able just to bolt the bed down and you are ready to go. As previously mentioned the hardest part will be finding the bed unless you wanna pay an arm and a leg for a new one...
Good luck. Keep us posted. Posted via Mobile Device |
