Crew cab Short bed build...bed options??

[bigoates]

Hi All, I am in the process of building a short bed crew cab truck.

Cab is a 1974 vintage from AZ. I bought a later model stepside bed (88-98) but I was wondering what other configurations people have toyed with.

I want a stepside for sure, so that rules out all the fleetside options.

Anyone put an even later model bed on their OBS chevy??

Just trying to get some ideas/input from people..

Thanks..

save the fenders the stepside beds are the same from the fifties to the 87 year

you can get another set of fenders and flip them and use them for inside wheel wells or tubs.. they look alot beetter than tubs....

i have seen a few 73-87 trucks around here with a 88-98 stepside bed and to be honest they look goofey.
sell the 88-98 bed and buy the proper stepside bed fro your crew cab. after i finish my new project which is a 81 2 wheel drive blazer i am building a crew cab short bed and i have been thinking about a stepside bed.

I know that most people don't like the look, but i was thinking i may be able to pull it off for a monster truck.

i want the truck to be light with a fiberglass bed and fiberglass nose.

Anyone have a glass nose laying around that they want to sell??

They sell fiberglass everything for a 73-87. Even cabs.
