Ok, put aside the gas tank provisions because the truck would get a fuel cell in the bed near the headboard, but dimensionally speaking, since I havent been able to find some good 8' stepside boxsides and nobody reproduces them for the 73-87 trucks, other than the obvious wheelwell arch being asthetically different, are there problems other than relocating the bolt holes in using an earlier 8' stepside bed on a 79 LWB 1/2 ton, such as width between tires, etc? Anyone maybe have some info?
