Re: need a little help

if you have a short step bed it can be replaced by a short fleetside bed by just un bolting and bolting the new one up// if you have a long step bed it can only be replaced by a long fleetside bed without changing the frame

Re: need a little help

But even if It's a long step seems like the new fashion around here is to just shorten the frame.

Everyone is doing it, its easy, and lots of info on it. So don't pass it up if its a nice truck just because it may be lwb

Also to the board, RJ22
