C10 with 88+ feet side short bed
88+ step sides on 67-72 C10s seem to be plentiful but I've searched the web to try and see what a fleet short would look like with no luck. So today looking through Craigslist I found a guy selling a C10 with a fleet short. I figured I would just post it here in case anyone else looking might find this.

I wonder what it would look like if someone grafted in a round wheel well opening instead of the one with the flat top. Make it match the front fender wheel well opening. |

Re: C10 with 88+ feet side short bed
This one belonged to Joe McPherson in CA. It was featured in one of the truck rags, maybe SportTruck. Notice that it has the 88-98 wheel opening on the front fenders, something that looks unremarkable until you consider the work. It was an awesome truck.

Re: C10 with 88+ feet side short bed
I looks good, but I prefer the stock opening.

Re: C10 with 88+ feet side short bed
I've seen one in person, it's looks *ok* in the pics, but in person it's obvious it's the wrong bed. The bed sides/cab curves don't match and there's still an indent above the body line kick out on the bed. I think it looks worse than the stepside, because now you have body curves that don't match as well.

Nah, the late model still doesn't line up.
