Not exactly but you are on the right track, Some parts are specific. If you want an original looking bed you will need wood wheelhousings. Again Mar-K has a lot of tech info you can read on their site and booklets for replacing a wood bed or converting a metal bed to wood (its close but not exact). Then of course you could always replace the metal floor as well. See post #9.
