stepside question
So 73-78 have the round fuel filler hole and 79 up has the square fuel door on it, right? If you get a bed with a square filler door, can you just swap that bedside fender out with a round hole (new aftermarket or whatever) and it work? Or are the actual bed walls different some how?
I've really been looking for a round hole step bed, but they seem few and far between. I have the chance to get a square hole step bed, and it needs the right fender replaced anways, just wondering if that works. I've never owned a stepper, so this is an area I am totally clueless on.

Re: stepside question
the fenders are interchangable, direct bolt on.

Re: stepside question
Cool, thanks Jeff. I might go pickup this stepper then and look at replacing the fender.

Re: stepside question
I would think you could just swap fenders like that. LMC lists the bedsides as 73-76 and 77-87 so I guess you could order or find a fender for a 77 or 78 ? It seems like there are two different placements of the round filler holes as well. My 76 has them up higher on the fender then some others ive seen, maybe earlier trucks.
