Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
Frame is 12 inches shorter. The difference is just in front of the rear suspension control arm mount cross member. Suspension components are the same, short or long wheelbase.

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
My question is this; as I am new to the 67-72 Chevy/GMC truck I don't want to cut up something that might be valuable. I am buying a 71 long bed step side, is this something that should be left alone or are there many of these trucks around so it won't matter?

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
A couple of key strokes later and the number is 7269. Not very rare at all. Although there were 206313 fleetside made. Thanks for the help.

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
7269 built 45 years ago. Probably 75% used, abused and junked. It's rarer than you think...
But I'd still rather have a short stepper... Rg

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
Used to, seemed like the long-steps were pretty much limited to county and state road dept. trucks and such in our area. We have still a few in the area that are the 73-87 body style, but I remember 60-66 and 67-72 as well . I guess it depended on the preference of the truck purchaser. A long bed step held more gravel and dirt than a short, and was easier to clean out when the day was done than a fleet side, at least according to a friend of mine who retired from the state road dept. I'm not a big fan of the look either.
