Stepside to Fleetside
How hard would it be to change a 73 stepside into a fleetside? Is it just the bed?

As far I know, just some bolts and nuts and taillights.

You will also need to change the rear bumper. Stepside bumpers are narrower. I don't know if the brackets are the same or not.

Unbolt the bed and all pieces that are attached and bolt on the new one with the same. Filler necks and filler hoses are the different. Everything else will work. As for the bumper, if you want the stepside one, you need brackets for it also, they aren't the same as a fleet.
