Arrow Can I replace with a step side?
I think the stepside beds have a more aggresive look so I was wondering can I swap my bed for a step side bed with no modifications? Taillights look alot better on the stepside also.

here is what mine looks like now.

btw this thing seems awful long to me. Please tell me its a short bed. Cause it looks like it but that tonneau cover makes it seem longer for some reason.

yes, the stepside bed will bolt up with minimal modifications. you will need the bumper/tailgate/tailights as well, however. also, fyi, the stepside bed is fiberglass, and slightly heavier than the styleside you have on now.
