newer stepside bed on an old truck?
Would a bed from a 1988-1998 fit on a 1966 c10? If anybody has any pictures of one that would be sweet. The guy that lives down the street from me has a mint bed off a 1991 stepside. My step side beed needs the rear wheel wells. He is asking 150 for the bed. Just wanted to know if anyone has done this swap? Thanks

Re: newer stepside bed on an old truck?
It works really well actually. Butt ugly IMO, but it's a practical solution to a rotted bed. We have one on a 72 K10. The frames on these trucks are nearly identical.

Re: newer stepside bed on an old truck?
Do you mean the fenders? Be tough to find a good pair in maine, you should opt for an aftermarket set...

Re: newer stepside bed on an old truck?
You know some things just are not right and a new style bed on an old truck is just not right!! DON'T DO IT!!! There is a Craig List 62 stepper bed here in Idaho for 250.00 --Freight to Maine would be high

Re: newer stepside bed on an old truck?
Thats the thing anything from new england would be rotted or need alot of work. I have 6 years of autobody school under my belt and im not scared of doing work. But some thing are not worth my time. The bed i have is more than savable its just at the moment i dont have the time. This week has been my shortest week at work and i still worked 58 hours.
