As some of you may know My 71 GMC has a utilty bed and I would like to get a normal bed for it. I just don't need that much storage. So today I hit a local junk yard and find a 71 Longbed in fair shape down a few cars I find a 73 long step in better shape. they are asking 150 for either one. Over all I like the long step mostly because it is in better shape and just about all of it is there but the tailgate. The Fleetside has the tailgate but I would have to get all the light housings..
My big question is will the 73 fit. is it a bolt on or will I have to fab up mounts?

Thanks Guys

Eric
