new 68 owner

[no1udknow]

Hey guys, new to this area of the forum. A while ago I got a 58 stepside and although I loved the idea of it, I have always wanted a 67-72. My dad had a 70 c10 from the time I was 2 till I was 25 when it caught fire and burnt down. I had a lot of great memories in that truck. My pops passed recently and I have really been wanting one of these trucks. As luck would have it, a friend has a 68 and a 67 for parts. He wants to trade straight across for my 58 project. The 68 has a wood bed, and it is a lwb. I am looking at doing a swb conversion, but I would like a metal ribbed bed. Are the body lines the same on the 70-72 bed as the 67-68? I am not interested in doing a wood plank bed, nor do I really want to buy a whole kit from lmc for $1500-$2000. Thanks in advance for any advice.
