StepSide bed measurements
Hey all.
We are looking to make a custom bed and the 59'ish step side seems to match the look we are going for. I was hoping someone could measure a few things before we order parts to see how much work it'll be to fit everything to our little truck.
Thanks.

Maybe if you ask for measurements from a flareside you will get more results rather than asking for step side which is Che**y. Also, include which measurements you are looking for.

I have an 8' flareside box completely disassembled for rust repair. Glad to measure anything you need...

Bed side
Red dot to dot, looking for overall length
Yellow vertical, from bottom of 45 degree at top of bed to seam where lower pieces attach
Light green, same as yellow, but to bottom of lower trim piece
Green Horizontal. Bolt hole to bolt hole for fender attachments
Light blue, front of bed side to rear of front trim piece
Purple, same as vertical light green in the front, only for the shorter rear trim piece.
Thanks for being helpful!!

Fender measurements
Red dot to dot, looking for the fender opening at the bottom. Rounded edges are vague, best you can do.
Yellow, from mounting face to farthest out face of the fender.
Green, fender opening height. Again there is a lot of rounded edges here, best you can do.
Blue. From the same lower point as green, then all the way to the top of the fender.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to help a stranger on the internet!!

Okay, I'll try to get those for you. Unfortunately, I won't be able to measure till next week, as I'm traveling for work all this week. As noted, some of the horizontal measurements might not apply to you, as mine's a long bed.

Next week is great! Long bed is probably what we will start with!
Thanks so much!!
