Seen them installed but body lines makes everything look strange. Better off staying with proper year groups. MHO.

you can ditch the 73-87 fenders and put on 67-72 re-pop stepside fenders if the box is nice enough

The basic bed box is the same from the 50's through the 80's

thats what i was refering to, just using the newer box with correct repop fenders, will everything else work out the same?? Length width??im considering building me a mildl custom orginal step and ditching the 96 bed on to another project

I think you will probally have to redrill the cross supports for mounting the bed. I think the frame widths are different.

hmmm i may just look into finding an original box and building the entire bed
