I was wondering if anyone knows of any other stepside beds that fit on the frame. I really want a stepside on my 4x4 but they are so hard to find. any info would be great.
thanks
Perry

I would post in the wrecking yard forum. Once in awhile I do see them in a wrecking yard.

Ok, age old question for the newbies…(where are you located) something that big is $$$ to ship and easier if some one is closer to you that you can work something out to pick up or have delivered … they can be found easily if you look around, I know of 14 in Salem alone, well 12 I bought 2 and shipped them of to people or they cam from out of state to get it … they can be had for free to about $500 most I ever paid was $225 I think…
As for other beds only the import trucks from the 70’/80’ made by California step side will fit with moving the bottom bed to frame rails other wise anything will fit with a little modification , time and $$$

just by looking at them but 99.9 that you find will be California step side beds ... i have been into luvs since 1978 and never seen any of the others, on occasion you might find a home built one
