I have a camper on my 1954 3100 that fits perfectly. I would like to know how many years the 1/2 ton stepside beds were the same size as the 1954? Also, how many years were the tailgates the same? Thanks for any info you may have.

The beds and tail gates are the same from 54 through about 1980. I am not sure of the year of the step side change, but there are many years to choose from. If you are looking for complete originality the 54 and 55.1 beds are different from all others. They have a raised area moulded into the bed side that follows the fender contour. The 55.2 and later beds have smooth bed sides.

truckcamper43: We have a short article about the different years of GM beds and how they changed from year to year. Go to http://www.mar-k.com/installation_hints.html and scroll down to "bed side interchangeability" for more information.
