Along bed step side would bolt right on. To put a short bed on you would have to cut the frame and shorten it, not to mention all the other work brake lines, driveshaft, etc.

A long bed step side? I don't think I have ever seen one of those. That would really make my truck look different!
Can you direct me to a picture please?

Don't know of any pics sites on the web for a long bed step side. I have only ever seen K20s never any K10s, C10s or C20s but years back the N.H. fish and Game Dept had a bunch K20 step sides.

They made them in 1/2T's also, there used to be on here in my neighborhood but I think the guy moved.  If I see another one, I will get a picture.  At one time I think there was someone on the forum that had one...

here is a pic, copy and paste this into the address bar. nonnova1974.tripod.com/si...udstep.jpg The 4wd ones don`t look as goofy as the 2wd I don`t mean to offend anyone but I think this combo just shouldn`t have been joined, but thats my opinion and you know what they say about opinions!!!
