72 Flairside SWB
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Aug-02 AT 12:48 PM (EST)]I have a quick question....
Can I replace my flairside bed with a 77 F-100 stepside bed without too many headaches???? Thanks, m.d.

I believe the newer bed is wider by about four inches, to match the increase in rear tread width starting in 73. Otherwise it should bolt right up. You might also consider switching to the 73-9 rear end for the extra width unless you've got wider wheels with good offset at the back.
