Stepside to Fleetside?

Perhaps I missed the link but I just spent a pretty good while searching to see if there is already a link.

I am wondering what all it would take to switch a stepside truck to a fleetside? How different are the frames...if any?

Its mainly just a question. I have always loved the fleetside trucks best but since coming here and looking for the last couple weeks I am falling more and more in love with the steppers too.

No difference in the frames. Just unbolt one and bolt on the other. If they are different years of beds you might have to move or make a mount.

Thanks. I thought that may be the case but since they are different widths I thought it may be different on the frame.

I figured that main differences were that one had the bed sides on the exterior of the wheel fenders and one on the interior of them.

Re: Stepside to Fleetside?

I know it just would look VERY WEIRD, but just wondered if anyone has made one side a stepside & the other a fleet?

Re: Stepside to Fleetside?

i kinda like the idea but take it one step further by 2 different paint schemes but make them tasteful one side stock look and the other custom baby moons with beauty rings and a 2" drop call it" 2 face" or" split personality"

Re: Stepside to Fleetside?

If you like the look of both step side and fleetsides, then bolt the step side fenders to the fleetside fenders. That's already been done though for a dually ... LoL
