I got a 58 Apache and have a fairly rough bed and fenders. I have found a newer truck that has a good bed and fenders. I would like to know what the cut-off year for the switch. I want to put the newer one on my truck. Everything looks identical and I think that it would work. I just want a little advice prior to paying out money for nothing. Please reply.

Kurt - if it looks identical, than it will be! only thing that might be different would be where the mount holes line up to frame holes, but that's easy - the bed that was original on yer 58 was the same 55-66, and then some minor changes, mostly fenders, but even later can be made to fit - my 57 has a 62 bed

Yea I had put a 55 2nd series stepside bed on my 64 chevy truck. But now I put a short fleetside bed on it that came from 66.

Check out the following website:

www.mar-k.com

I believe the SWB stepside beds are essentially interchangeable from '55 through '87. I have found Mar-K to be a very good source of information for bed related questions.

Best of luck with your switch.
