Does anyone have any pictures of the "Bonus Built" series trucks with a 1980-86 stepside box mounted on the back?

As a matter of fact, I do. I found this pic on the internet years ago. It looks as if the square box bed matches up fairly well

The rear fenders being composite, it would be pretty simple to round off the edges, fill the wheel opening lip and add the body line down the middle to make them look more fitting.

Thanks for the pictures. That looks way nicer than I thought it would. Not bad at all really.

I've been looking for a '60's-70's stepside box for a bit now, and haven't come across one that isn't rusted out or it's just too far away to make a deal happen. I have a pretty nice '86 stepside box already here. I think I'll use it for the time being, until I find the older rounded-fender box and then swap them out at that point.

I've seen several old trucks, both Ford and Chevy with late model (1988 and up) GM beds. They look surprisingly good also (I don't have any saved pics of any of those)

When I read the title, I was thinking no way. But that doesn't look bad.
