Flareside to styleside Question

I was just offered a 78 Shortbed Flareside 4x4..
I dont Care Much for the Flareside's Do the beds Swap out? Can I bolt up a styleside Shortbed ? or is there more involved to many differences?

Thanks for the Help..

Glad to hear, Are the Fuel Tanks / Filler Necks and Rear Bumper all the same as well or would I need styleside Parts?

Kyo,

Gas tank is the same, filler I am not sure, bumper is different. What are you planning on doing with the flareside bed? I might be interested.

If I were you, I'd just leave it. Most shortbeds I see here in Wisconsin are about $2000-$3000 even if it's in moderate condition with some rust and dents.
