I cant find me a fleetside bed here in victoria texas so im thinking about putting a 90 model bed since it easier to find them

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

There are a few members who have done this...And it does not look bad.IMO...Although they did alot of mods to their bed.....Are you set on a step side..? And do what you want its your truck..........

i would really like to put a old school fleetside than a newer stepside. But resources are limited where I am. This guy gave me a bed off his 67 that was a 90 model bed and the match front finders where he molded the fender WW to match. I dont know what Its going to look like still trying to get the truck running. I just bought my harness today. And that was 400 for a painless. I would just like to see some pics so I can get some ideas on where I need to be

Well it can and has been done. It's just not the look for everyone. I suppose it's better than running round with no bed..
This is a pic of one from this board although I do not know who it belongs to.

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

that doesnt look to bad, and you right it better then having no bed at all.

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

Yeah, this is one that has had a lot of work done to it. There are several members who have done it. Mike Nutt has an orange '69 that looks real good. Lot of work went into it. It is a different look if that's what you are after.
You can do a search of this forum and come up with a good many pics of his and several others.
Also, as an option the '73 to '87 step bed can bed used and should be more readily available than a good 67 to 72. I think I have a couple of pics of those as well.....;)

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

Nother one. I only have the pics, no info on who owns them, etc.

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

Why not purchase a repop bed?

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

And here is the thread link to Mike Nutt's 69 build with late model step bed.

Thanks a lot for all the pics this will help in my build

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

You're welcome. I had a couple of pics where someone photoshopped the round fender well openings onto the late model bed to match the fronts. It actually looked real good, IMO. I hope yours turns out as well.
Oh hey. Pics. We like lots of pics. ;)

Here is one, not pretty but it works, '67 with a '96 step-side bed.

When I start the restoration on the truck I will use the '68 step-side I purchased from a guy in St. Louis, it is pretty much rust and dent free. If there are any of each I sure can't find them. It will need new bed wood sometime in the future.

Today he even brought it 150 miles to me for the price I paid.

Here is one with a Different Twist, Made it fit a Full size Frame..................

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

If you do, why not try and scab onto a couple of 88-98 front fenders that would provide you with the right fender opening? You're not using the fenders, just the wheel openings.

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

I have the fenders already molded with the right fender opening to match the newer styler stepside bed. I decided to go back to the original look.

Re: post pics of 90 model setside beds on 67-72
 

I had fun that day danny! I hope to see the bed I sold ya on your dad's truck soon. I'm glad that you were happy with your purchase.

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
 

here is one i did for a guy personally don't like the look but he did. he had me put one on a 1977 also

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
 

I don`t care what guys do to they`re trucks.These are a good way to get a bed on a truck w/o spending a couple thousand dollars.

BUT!!! Please get this straight! There were no Stepside beds produced after 1987.That`s right,In 1988 when the new design trucks came out they offered this bed and it`s called a Sportside.I`d expect a GM truck fan to know this:cool:.Call it what it is,dag nabbit! Not only is the name changed as well as the styling,these changed the narrow bed from a historic utilitarian functional design to a stylized modern design for a sportier look.With plastic bedsides and side steps too high to be very useful,it is a whole new beast.It`s a stylized version of a Stepside called a sportside.

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
 

It's just old habits Tim, that's all. If it's got steps, well, it's a stepside. :lol:
But if someone wants to put that late model bed on a 67-72 then I suggest they do cut the rear steps off at least. I believe it is called a "step shaver" kit available on the aftermarket. And "round" out the wheel wells too. JMO ;)

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
 

Then it would be a Stepshaver,right?:lol:You`re right,guys even call Ford Flaresides and Dodge Utilines Stepsides.Same with Stepvans.

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
 

do these beds mount right up? i picked one up and it seems the front and rear are about an inch from touching the frame,high in the middle where the suppourt is? whats teh trick to mount it? the truck was a long bed,cut teh frame for a short bed. 72 model

Re: post pics of 90 model stepside beds on 67-72
