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.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

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...

I had a 64 C 20 long bed step side but I sold it a few years back.

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!!!
