step beds

What year step beds will fit on my 85 and vice versa. I have buddy who has a 76 stepper and he wants a straight bed.

Re: step beds

All step beds 1973-87 are the same. Aside from fenders and steps, all step beds 1963-1987 are the same. Aside from fenders steps and cross sill mount locations, all 1954-1987 step beds are the same.

Re: step beds

one thing to watch out for is the gas filler. In the earlier models it was on the passenger side as opposed to the driver. I *think* it was in 80 that they made the switch to driver side. I may be a year or so off on that.

Re: step beds

Sounds right to me. I think they did make the switch in 80'.
