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

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

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