Fleetside to stepside conversion?
« on: August 26, 2014, 12:05:22 am »
Hello guys I am new to this forum and feel pretty confident someone could answer my question regarding wether or not you could remove short bed and possibly replace it with a stepside? The truck is a '86 Scottsdale and was just curious if it were possible.

Thank you

Yeah. Pull the fleet, throw the step on. Only issue is wiring up the step tails

Make sure the new bed has the fuel door/filler tube on the proper side
