Re: stepside bed question
Seen them installed but body lines makes everything look strange. Better off staying with proper year groups. MHO.

Re: stepside bed question
you can ditch the 73-87 fenders and put on 67-72 re-pop stepside fenders if the box is nice enough
The basic bed box is the same from the 50's through the 80's

Re: stepside bed question
I think you will probally have to redrill the cross supports for mounting the bed. I think the frame widths are different.
