Question Newbie question: Will a standard shortbed stepside bed fit on a shortbed straight side truck?

Looking at a 63 half-ton 6.5'? shortbed, fleetside to buy: Will a short bed stepside bed fit on the same (I think 115"?) short frame? Are there different length step side beds

My grandfather had a 63 stepside and I wanted to duplicate it. I love that truck!

Thanks for your help,

It's my first post and I'm going to look at the truck tomorrow....

Gary

Welcome to the forum gary! Yes theres three different stepside beds. A shortbed and two longbeds. One is 8 ft and one is 9ft. Mine is an 8 ft bed.

AFAIK all SWB are swappable. Same with LWB except for the 9ft bed. and be sure to post some pik-churs!

Unless the cab is in super shape, I would buy a truck in the style you are looking for in the first place...swaps are doable, but waiting for what you really want usually is best.
