funny you should bring that up, Me and 2 friends just did this yesterday to his truck. Everything bolts up, the only thing we had to do was grind a little lip off the rear of the bed, so that we could put the body lift in.... other then that everything bolts up, so if you dont have a B/L then no grinding ;P

oh yea, The Gas tank on the stepside was on the drivers side, the gas tank on the fleet was on passenger, we had an extra gas tank that he put in the bed, and spliced the line into his stock tank, and it works... but with some more work you could rig it up however you want.

cool! thanks Silver i found one for 150.00 nice and straight /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gifhow heavy you think it was lol
We switched ny buddy's truck and the old bed was real heavy and the step side bed was a feather in comparison. Really lightened up the truck.
