frames are the same as long as you have a complete bed with the cross rails then it'll go on no problem

Also the frame to bed side braces for the lower fenders, those usually end up missing when the bed is removed. Fleetside bumpers are straight across, stepside curve in on the ends. Stepside will fit, just looks odd.
