Stepside Bed

[57chevyman]

Hey y'all.

I'm thinking about attempting to make my '88-'98 stepside bed look more like a '57 bed. If I remove the fiberglass sides, I can install '57 fenders and steps.
I imagine that will look pretty much like the correct bed from the side.
i'll sell the fiberglass sides to recoup some of the cost of this project

replacing the tailgate with the correct tailgate is not happening. I don't mind the tailgate I have...but I do want to remove the existing tail lights and install the correct ones..... im not sure how involved that will get....

Any one ever heard of this being done? any pictures of a stripped down 88-98 bed would help.
