1960 - 66 Stepside Bedsides Question

This may be a dumb question ( it would not be the first time)......but. I have a 64 short stepside which needs bedsides. I believe the fenders and tailgates are the same from '55 to '66 my question is, are the bedsides the same?

I live in the UK where parts are scarce so the more options I have the better chance I have of finding some. New ones aren't too bad cost wise in the US but shipping to the UK is likely to make them very expensive.

thanks Ian

Bed sides and gates are all the same late 55 to 87 iirc. Fenders are series specific, 55-66, 67-72 and 73-87.

Re: 1960 - 66 Stepside Bedsides Question

Do you know any Shops with a Sheet Metal Brake? Bedsides can be made if you do. We cut a 48 Ford F1 down and made our own to fit the wheel base. We welded pipe for the rolled top and it turned out street worthy. The bad thing is I don't have pictures but I bet you could Google and find a Utube video.

Though the bed sides are the same, the bolt holes for attaching the 67+ fenders are different.
