Long-bed Stepside Question

Howdy Guys,

I have a 1955 F-250. The reason I'm askin a question in the 67-72 forum is because I have been having a hard time finding a bed for my truck. The 55 only had the stepside. I know trucks from 67-72 had either a stepside or bumpside. My question is this: Is the long-bed stepside for the 67-72 the exact same as the 53-56? As I said I can't find an F-250 bed for a 55, but if its the same for a 67-72 it would make the search a bit easier. If any of you guys have any input it is much appreciated. If any of you have a long-bed stepside and know the exact measurements, length, width, hidth, wheel offset, etc. that would be great.

Jeff

i think it's the same the only difference may be mounting holes and thats an easy fix just drill new holes in the bed and weld up the old ones

i don't think so . what you need to do is find one and take plenty of mesurements before you make the switch. i am doing something similar. i am taking a 93 stepside and putting it on my 68. i have already had it sitting on the frame and it looks pretty damn good. and i will have very few mods i have to make. the other reason i decided for a newer bed is for the fuel door. i am putting a fuel tank in the frame rail.
