Fleet bed, step frame?

I have possibly procured a decent fleet bed locally, being used as a trailer no less...

My truck was originally a step that the PO replaced with an OBS step; are there any differences (crossmembers, bolt holes, etc.) I should expect to run into, or is it a bolt on affair?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I think I've read somewhere that some of the bed cross-braces are different.
