[Palf70Step]

Finally decided to compile what I did to make a 73-87 stepbed look and fit on a 67-72. Now these were all done to a shot wheelbase model, but I assume you will need similar steps to do this for a long step, although I think those are quite rare for 73-87. I went this way because 67-72 trucks are very rare in our salvage yards. Most still appear to be work trucks. To use after market sheet metal was very expensive and i didn't have a vendor very close to me.

First couple shots show what I had to deal with. The original owner had welded in a steel plate for a bed in order to haul cattle. In the process the drain for the bed was sealed. Age, weather and cattle pee ate my bed up.

After stripping the steel plate and the little bit of original wood out here is was I was working with.
