Question bed question AGAIN!

I have found a place that sells new stepside bed for up to 1972, will a 72 bed fit on my 79 f100?

quote from LMC catalog

"1976: .......... The F100 Stepside fitted with the pre-1972 style 6-1/2 foot box is added. Spring of 1976 this old style box was replaced by a more 90 degree Stepside body."

to me this means that it would fit on the truck but it would have the older, slanted look to it. on my 1979 stepside the bed rails are flat; are the bed rails on the bed that you have flat or not?

The bed I have now is a homemade wooden flatbed that I would like to change to a stepside.

No I haven't, I'm trying to decide the best route to go. The truck had a flairside on it originally, I do like the look of the stepside better and flairside shortbeds are VERY hard to find( in Indiana) at a reasonable price that don't look like swiss cheese. My truck is a 1979 f-100 custom with short wheel base and 302 v8 with auto trans and no ac
