Stepside swap to fleetside

If I purchased a 1968 stepside, can I unbolt the stepside bed and put any year 67-72 fleetside shortbed on there with no modifications?


Thanks for the help!

I am pretty sure that you can. The frames are the same. I am in the 951, howdy neighbor!

Thanks for the replies guys. So is it 100% sure it would work with no mods?

It is my understanding that yes, with no mods you can unbolt a stepside bed and bolt on a fleetside bed.

Should work. Only difference that I can think of is rear bumper and rear tail light harness.
