newer step side beds for my 72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

supersize75k5 · 08-14-2004, 03:36 AM

I all and hello!

I have just dug myself into another project and want to do something different in the rear.

I want to use a step side, I can get a fiberglass bed from a 94 off a friend for a couple hudred, or I was thinking of a late model because of thier curves in the rear and modern look.

Any thoughts or pics of this already done? I am hoping to do the 94 bed, I want to do a 67-72 step side bed but good ones are hard to find

thanks for all the help!

I considered a 88-98 stepside bed swap a few years back until I noticed the wheel openings don't match the front fenders

88-98 BEDS LOOK PRETTY GOOD, EAST COAST CUSTOMS USE TO SELL A
KIT FOR THEM FOR $150, IT GAVE YOU A REAR ROLL PAN AND TO PATCH
PANELS FOR REMOVING THE REAR STEPS, LOOKED LIKE A DUALLY FROM
BEHIND IT WAS PRETTY COOL, NO IDEA IF IT IS STILL AVAILABLE. :p

I have a 90 model bed with new eastcoast customs rollpan and tailite caps that I'm not gonna use due to running across a cherry of a fleetside bed. 800.00 takes it off my hands if anyone is interested!

I recently acquired a 72 with a 95 step-side conversion. I think it looks pretty good despite the difference in front and rear fender openings.

**BIG ORANGE** · 08-14-2004, 05:31 PM

This looks better!

I have a '94 stepside on my '69 I think it looks killer and would love to post some pics of it but I have no program to re-size my pics. So no go for now :-( if anybody outhere knows of a free downloadable program I would love one!

Is the rounded fender well project a hard one? Are there kits available? Please share, Todd

I'm assuming that is photoshopped. Those beds look 100x better when the rear openings match the front

Nothing that a good bodyman cant do!!!

I hate to use the f word, but has anyone used a "ford" flare side bed from a 93 to 95 F-150, they have rounded wheel wells. Even the new 99-04 step side chevy beds are more rounded.

All it takes is a lot of time and patience with the fiberglass.
