Question Stepside Steps

I have a stepside bed I'm going to be putting on my 78 F-150 4X4 and when I puchased the bed it was from arizona and is in perfect shape except for that the floor is missing and the steps are missing. I have searched this form extensivly and checked the online store and I cant find any. Any help would be apriciated. Thanks

go to http://www.mar-k.com they have some good stuff. that is where i got my floor from. I just got the hardware and since i am more of a wood worker made my own would for the floor. It is a good kit. but i would suggest getting the wood since you don't have anything to go by. if the link doesn't work just give me a shout on email

I would check with:

http://www.members.tripod.com/woodandparts/index.htm

this is the link for Bruce Hornkey's truck bed parts.

there web site is limited but I'd give them a call they know these trucks and will most likely be able to help you out.

Do you have the flareside shortbox or longbox?

those are pretty rare, for the sepsides in general, but the 8ft are even harder to find.

I think the stepside I have is the original. The truck is an 1976 F250 so that is why the different bed sides.

I plan to start working on the truck this winter but parts could be difficult to find but most of the sheet metal in the bed area is flat so it should be easy to repair.

Aren't the flareside beds the same from '76 back into the '50s? I thought in '77 is when they started with the flat tops...
