Long bed stepper questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,
I've been looking for a stepside long bed, and I had a couple questions;
-Are they rare/low production, hard to find, etc.?
-What's an average going price?
(I bought a dodge long stepper a couple years ago and they're pretty rare (for Dodges) so I paid a pretty penny)
-it is a basic swap for a standard long bed correct?
(I know when I swapped my long stepper on my dodge I just had to change the fuel filler neck but it was a dual tank.)
Thanks

The long steppers are somewhat low production compared to the shorts. But they are also not quite as desirable as the short steps either. A lot of them get cut down to shorts or just parted out. There's a good number of members with long steps here on the forum. I like them because there is just not that many of them left, so they are unique. But unique does not always equal desirable. I don't know about price, but I got mine last year as a basket-case for $500. Tried to sell it on CL at the end of 2013 for $1500 but no takers. Now I'm gonna keep it because it's different from most you see on the road.

Thanks for the info guys, guess ill run my reg box until I can find a stepper long box, I just like the look of them, plus I think they make a lwb look like a SWB, or is that just me?
Anyone have a guess as to what a decent price is in the Midwest?
