As an added note, you'll need to have a front cross with mounting holes for the step. The 84's bed looked like the holes were different, so I cleaned, rust coated and painted my original front cross rail. I used the others from the 84 since they were in better shape.
Added note: I knew I was not doing my bed in the original wood. I'm using a fiberglass coated piece of plywood with a piece of polished diamond plate on top. I couldn't get the original bolts out of the side pieces, so I just drill the heads out. They didn't look neat, but since the diamond plate would cover it or a new bolt head, I wasn't too worried.
Here she is already to be final sanded, painted and put back on.
