Title: Bed Fit Question
Post by: Chevynut73 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

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