Rear dropmember with a stepside… - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A few years ago, my grandpa gave me a truck that his father bought brand new in 1968. I was originally planning to use a short/wide bed, but I've recently decided I'd like to keep as much of the original truck as I can. However, it was a long/step and I'm considering cutting the bed down. My questions are: has anyone done this before? Are the long and short step fenders the same? Can I lay the frame down with a 285/35/22 with a step side (which I believe is a little taller than 29 inches using a rear 4 link bolt-on dropmember)?
