My pieced together truck.
I finally found an 8 ft stepside bed for my 69 c10 I've been piecing together. I had the frame and engine laying around for years. A bubby gave me the cab from a truck he was scraping. The doors came as extras when I bought my k20 from Colorado. The front clip is all extras I had. Biggest expense was the painless wiring harness. Does anyone know if someone reproduces the stepside fender with the spare tire cut out?

Re: My pieced together truck.
I have been looking myself. Those things OEM for long beds are Holy Grail rare.

Re: My pieced together truck.
I don't think anyone reproduces spare tire cut out fenders at all but give this man a call.
Eric at 406 325 2427. He will ship and ship in a proper wooden crate. Such a fender could be made, there was a build thread on here showing a guy doing just that. I wish my truck was a lwb like yours. I love stepsides. |

Re: My pieced together truck.
If you get yours replaced, I might be in the market to buy it. It can't be any worse than the ones I am using at the moment and looks like it's probably better.

Re: My pieced together truck.
Are the long bed step fenders different from the short bed?

Re: My pieced together truck.
Swb and lwb are the same. Gotta have the spare tire cut out though . It's the icing on the cake.

Edit: My answer should be Yes. I was saying no they aren't different, when I was meaning no they aren't the same.

Re: My pieced together truck.
Here's a good thread that discusses spare tire fenders. Even has factory diagrams included.

Re: My pieced together truck.
Within thew last 2 weeks a guy just purchased a long step truck, he was talking about cutting the bed down but a bunch of us advised against it as to the rarity of the bed, he may have decided to find a different bed, i'd be learning how to use the search feature and maybe you can find the thread and maybe he's got something you need for sale? who knows..
