flareside to style side bed swap
 
Im looking at a truck that is a style side, haven't looked to hard yet but it looks like it is in great shape. Not only do I want to swap it to a style side I would also like to be able to sell the stepside bed.
For the swap I would need an 80-96 bed and bumper correct? nothing else?
Also what is a fair price to sell a flare side and buy a style side I have been looking and haven't found much

Thanks

sorry if I confused anyone with that now that I read it I realize its a mess lol..... Basicly just wanted to make sure all I needed for the swap was a bumper and the bed
and what a fair price was for selling the flareside and buying the style side

thanks losthillbilly

also forgot, what about gas lines? like to fill tank, do they match up as long as its two beds with single gas tanks.. the neck to the flareside can stay for the style side bed?

yea i believe the filler hoses are diffrent im pretty sure the step side has a diffrent angle/shorter if your grabbing the bed off anouther truck grab the fillerneck too

The '80-86 bed is slightly different from '87-96 (& '97 >8500GVWR) at the wheel arches, and the '90-up tailgate is better.

You got a pic of your flareside?

Damn, I'd be interested to buy it if I wasn't 12 time zones away until Christmas.
