Stepside Bed

[hdixon]

I can use a few pointer I have a 1969 step side c10 it has a 1973 step side bed mounted to it I would like a 67-72 bed on my c10 but they are hard to fine and costly if you fine one how can I change over the 1973 bed to a 67-72 it looks as if the mounting hole are different but what would need to be change to make a 73-87 bed work if it is possible.

thanks

The biggest problem is the front of the bed is different where the steps bolt up, it's "too short". It's been done before, but you have to weld in a section to mount the step to.

Here's a step by step (pun intended) thread Bill did on how to do it:

thanks for the reply that is quit a bit of work I would need someone to install that for me and it looks to be costly I think at this point I will leave the 73-85 bed on the truck as is it is in good shape just wanted to keep the truck with original parts thanks again for your help

No problem. Keep scouring craigslist and our parts forum. They do pop up for decent prices every now and then. With being able to buy complete brand new fleet beds relatively "cheap" now a days, a lot of steps are being converted to fleets.
