Sorry if this is a stupid question but i've never done this before.
Stepside and Fleetside both bolt up pretty much the same way to any factory frame right? (having trouble finding a bed so if i can use either one, it should help my chances of finding one or the other).
Thanks

Is the fleetside a shorty?
-
No but will be when we get through with it.

It should bolt up. I have a 74 shortbed stepside that I know a fleetside bed will bolt right to. The frame is exposed right now. If you need any dimensions please ask. More than happy to measure something for you.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230331/def0be6b4b975f95f5f18e09e7eed41d.jpg)

Pry the better question is: Is your truck frame a shorty?
-
Yes it is
-
Oops, not my turn to respond 😬 hahaha
-
There is nothing different in a SWB for mounting a fleetside versus stepside, the same is true of a longbed (long bed stepsides also existed)
-
Just wondering if the OP knows that steps and fleets came in two sizes. As did truck frames.

Wow, what a great looking project you got going there!
Thanks for the reply.
What I have is a long fleetside that we are fixin to cutdown, bolt/weld up to make her a short stepside.
Thanks
