I am considering new bed options for my '78 F-250 Supercab 4x4. The bed on mine is in pretty bad shape and needs replaced. I've always liked the look of a long narrow bed, but I've never seen one on these trucks. I noticed that LMC has bed wood for a stepside longbed, but they don't carry the rest pf the stepside parts.

Basically, would it be possible to find a stepside longbed that I could put on my truck? Also, does anyone have pictures of one? I don't care if it's a 78 or not, as I am going to be putting an eariler grill on my truck in the near future.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I did a search and found a lot of references to stepsides, but no longbeds.

 

Have a look

I have to say I've never seen one in person, and I could only imagine how ugly that would be.

 

Yea, my main problem with it is the supercab. I really like the look of a long narrow bed on a regular cab truck, but the supercab might look a little strange.

 

Whats wrong with strange? I think its more fun to have a truck that sticks out above the rest! If I had a super or crew cab, I would definitely throw the old stepside on it just to be differnt, but thats just my 2 cents worth.

 

It would look stranger than this one

Now that is one gorgeous truck. Do you have any more pics of it? Is the owner on FTE? I'd love to see some more of it.

I think I may just try it and see how it looks. If I decide it looks bad, I'll just take it off and make a trailer out of it, and put a styleside back on. Anyone know where I can find an 8ft. narrow bed?

 

That truck also has a cummins diesel in it.
