I have 2 1939 Chevy dump trucks and i want to build a pickup for daily driving. It looks to me that the only things ill be able to use off these trucks are the cab and fenders ill still need a bed. has any one used a stepside from a 70s- to 80s chevy? are they close in size? does any one know the size of an origenal bed from a 39 or for that mater the size of the bed on a 70s-80s stepside?
thanks
Steve B

Steve1939Chevy -

You can use the front fenders if you want to, but they are not the same as the pick-up fenders. Big truck fenders have a larger wheel opening than a pick up.

The cab is the same.

Don't quote me or hold me on this, but the 39 stepside bed is about 46 1/2 inches wide. I think they went to 48 1/2 wide in 1940. I might be off by 1/2 inch :confused:
