I want to replace the cross sills and just put a piece of plywood for the bed right now. As I have looked more into it, seems the old owner moved one of the cross sills down and redrilled a hole for one of the others. Now, my question. In looking at the VIN and Model, I am wondering if it was a fleetside to start with and someone decided to change it to a stepside. Here are the numbers I found.

Drivers side Pillar: CE149Z897007

Inside the glove box: C#141z606130 and CE10934

I have looked around and I cannot seem to match the numbers exactly, but I have a sneaking suspicion this was a fleetside that somebody turned into a step side. If that is the case, is it possible to keep it as a stepside? I like the look of them better anyway.

Any input is welcomed and appreciated.

The model code CE10934 decodes to a long wheel base fleet side bed.

You need whatever model code is associated with VIN CE149Z897007 (assuming that's the VIN for this truck).

Fleetside and stepside beds use the same attaching points, so if that's what got you wondering you can disregard that.
