new bed or old bed

[airbrusher]

allright i need some opinions guys! i am building a 72 c10 shortbed on somewhat of a budget but still want a nice truck. now for my dillema i have a pristine stepside bed off of a 97 chev which i would love to put a stepshaver kit on and put it on my 72 but also have a short wide box that is in decent shape other than the bedsides. i am just not sure which way to go i like both but dont want to do somethin im not gonna like later, i suppose it comes down to personal likes and dislikes ,i would like to hear some pros or cons. thanks everyone!!
