Stepside Bed questions
Someone told me that the box is the same from 60-77 the only differance is the fenders... is this correct... please let me know..
thanks if so do they all bolt up to any frames... i have a 68 chevy truck and found a 74 stepside, but i was going to buy it just for the box and sell the fenders |

Re: Stepside Bed questions
I think the box is the same, the tailgates are.

Re: Stepside Bed questions
Wow, that's great! So it just got a lot easier to find a good tailgate!

Re: Stepside Bed questions
The boxes on the 73 up are different! The step is about 4" higher where it mounts on the later models. You can add a filler piece and use the 67-72 steps, and re-drill for the fenders. I'm not sure on the earliers model sides though. Tailgates are the same from about 55 to 87 I believe.

Re: Stepside Bed questions
The front stake pockets are shorter too.

Re: Stepside Bed questions
Right,the bedsides are different due to the different step design (shorter front stanchion) and different fenders (different bolt hole pattern).

Re: Stepside Bed questions
I have a set of nice straight rust free swb step bed sides that are off a 55-66 truck. They are the dimensionally the same as 67-72 except for the holes for mounting the fenders. My dad scored them last hear at the Pate swap meet at Texas Motor Speedway for $50/ pair!
