Bed Fit Question
« on: February 15, 2023, 04:59:40 pm »
Question-

Will a '72 stepside bed fit on a '73 fleetside frame ?

I know they are different generations of the C10 but didn't know about the bed fitting with or without modifications???

Thanks for any advice

Would rather push a CHEVY than drive a Furd

You can make anything fit but why?

Buy the 72 one (if cheap enough), flip it, and buy the correct one.  Profit!  ;D

You do know the 72 bed is a different style than the 73 bed, right?

You can still find beds for these trucks and all of the parts are available to build a new bed.
