Late model stepside bed onto a 68 chassis?

I'm thinking about defiling my 68 anniversary by lopping off the frame and grafting a late model stepside bed onto it. Anyone on this board done this. Ive seen a few pics ot there and they look great. Ive been looking around here and havent found any for sale recently. If youve done this how much is the going price for a complete stepside bed these days?

Dude, there's no need to lop off the frame - it will pretty much bolt on. The general feelings around here is they look good all except for the wheelwell openings don't match.

I just purchased a 96 model bed in mint condition for $1,400. I really like the look and can't wait till I get mine complete.
